Reviews
- "DADDIO is a lovely start to Hall's career. I'm excited to see the other stops she makes along the way."
- Film Freak Central - "It starts with a great deal of promise, and its two leads keep it interesting throughout."
- RogerEbert.com - "A gorgeously shot, expertly performed, riveting two-hander about a woman reflecting on life with her NY taxi cab driver. The stirring naturalistic progression of conversation covers our relationship with tech, power/gender dynamics, sex, loss, and more."
- Feelin' Film Podcast - "Sean Penn is at his absolute best here in a tremendously engaging performance as a salty working-class guy with an endless supply of opinions and ways of drawing out his passengers, while Dakota Johnson more than holds her own."
- Deadline Hollywood Daily - "Both stars excel in their roles, and Ms. Hall’s astute script builds one unexpected yet plausible revelation atop another as the two develop a surprisingly intimate bond."
- Wall Street Journal - "A gorgeously shot, expertly performed, riveting two-hander about a woman reflecting on life with her NY taxi cab driver. "
- Feelin' Film Podcast - "Every aspect of DADDIO is designed to spark conversation. But it’s sweeter and more satisfying than you might expect..."
- Variety - "Johnson and Penn’s connection is genuine, and there’s an awful lot to like here."
