Catch Me Daddy was a near-miss for me. A cat-and-mouse thriller about a white British bloke and his young Muslim girlfriend on the run from her possessive father in Yorkshire, it dips its toe into matters of feminism in Islam and the taboo of interracial relationships, but mainly concerns itself with one close shave after another for our increasingly desperate fugitive pair... along with shocking scenes of violence which are all the more affecting because they occur so sparingly.

Mostly taking place over the course of one brutal night, the story displays many rundown locations around the county and introduces us to a selection of particularly unsavoury characters; a Tourist Board advertisement for the region it is not. MiIdly diverting but definitely overlong, it's another one of those films that concludes with a giant question mark hanging over it. Some people would appreciate the ambiguity, other would prefer something a bit more concrete. I exist firmly in the latter camp. 5/10.
