‘Daddio’ follows a young woman (Johnson), who, after landing at JFK airport in New York City, jumps into the backseat of a yellow taxi. The cabbie, Clark, throws the vehicle into drive, and the two head out into the night, striking up the most unexpected conversation. What begins as amusing chitchat quickly takes a turn towards mysterious and playful, then grows into viscerally honest revelations about relationships, sex and power dynamics, loss, and vulnerability. This contained yet kinetic drama explores the complexities of human connection and proves that a chance encounter with a total stranger can change a person’s life.
According to our review, ‘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.
The film is rated R for language throughout, sexual material, and brief graphic nudity. Johnson, along with Ro Donnelly, is producing the film through their company, TeaTime Pictures, while Emma Tillinger Koskoff and Hall are also one of the producers.
‘Daddio’ was released in theaters on June 28, 2024, by Sony Pictures Releasing.
