DADDIO

Dir. CHRISTIE HALL, USA, 2024, 101 min. Daddio is a story about a young woman who takes a long taxi ride from the airport to home with an older man as her driver. They both divulge personal anecdotes about their lives with seemingly no filter. At first glance it does not appear to be a great foun- dation for a film. However as the story progresses we find out that the young woman, (Dakota John- son) who is never named, is involved in an affair with an older, married man. We also find out that the taxi driver 'Clark' (Sean Penn) has a fairly sharp focus on life and relationships after being married more than once.
