Christy Hall’s 'Daddio' Review

‘Daddio‘ premiered at the 50th Telluride Film Festival in Colorado on August 31, 2023, where we had the exclusive opportunity to watch it with Dakota Johnson and director Christy Hall.

The film, Christy Hall’s directorial debut, confidently unfolds entirely in a taxi cab, with Johnson and Sean Penn delivering spectacular performances. Although it starts a bit uncertain, you’re not sure where it’s headed or its intentions, but it concludes on a sweet note. This engaging, darkly funny, and cathartic two-person story set mainly in a New York City yellow cab is impressive.

In ‘Daddio,’ a young woman (Johnson) arrives at JFK airport in New York City and hops into the backseat of a yellow taxi. The taxi driver, Clark, takes off, and the night takes an unexpected turn as they engage in a conversation. What starts as light-hearted chatter soon evolves into a mix of mystery and playfulness, eventually leading to candid discussions about relationships, sex, power dynamics, loss, and vulnerability. This focused yet dynamic drama delves deep into the intricacies of human connection and demonstrates that a random encounter with a stranger can profoundly impact a person’s life.

It’s a terrific showcase for Dakota Johnson and Sean Penn, both of whom excel in their roles. ‘Daddio’ is a great example of how powerful storytelling can be when it’s just two people talking, guided by exceptional writing and direction. It’s all about human relationships and connection.

‘Daddio’ carries strong language throughout, sexual content, and brief instances of graphic nudity. The film also features notable performances from Daisy Ridley and Marcos A. Gonzalez. The film beautifully underscores the idea that chance encounters with strangers can lead to profound and life-altering moments. It invites viewers to reflect on their own interactions and the transformative potential of human connections.

In conclusion, ‘Daddio’ is a compelling exploration of the complexities of human relationships, wrapped in a simple yet powerful narrative. It’s a must-see film that reminds us of the magic that can happen when two people share a conversation in the back of a taxi cab.
