Daddio

I saw Daddio with a multigenerational group of people a few days ago. It is more powerful, poignant, intriguing, insightful, and engaging than I expected, given that there are just two main characters in the film. Turns out there was a wealth of emotion, humanity and dissonant "wisdom" revealed during the interplay of the actors portraying these two characters. The movie sparked a lot of conversation, reflection, and varied perspectives among the members of our movie going group. All of us were unified in praising the striking nature of the dialogue, the unique nature of the production, and the fantastic performances of Sean Penn and Dakota Johnson in this film.
