A Captivating Dialogue-Driven Film

I thoroughly enjoyed this film. Despite being confined to the setting of a taxi, the movie never felt tedious. The storyline may not be to everyone's taste, but if you are open to a dialogue-oriented film and everyday themes, you can certainly appreciate what this film has to offer.

For me, it was an engaging film that captured a variety of themes: generational differences, digital versus analog communication, "daddy issues," and the importance of human connection, to name a few. Ultimately, the film thrives on the authentic performances of its two main actors. *Daddio* is a thought-provoking and intimate exploration of human connection that proves sometimes the most profound conversations can happen in the most unexpected places.
