I Love You, Daddy (2017)

It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Louis CK's take on social issues the last few years have been a welcome devils advocate to the tidal wave of leftist social marxism and this movie explores that in a refreshing fashion. Humor and comics are the great equalizers in our culture and Louis has risen to fame blending comedy and social commentary perfectlyThe cast in this film is great. Adeline, Falco, Day and especially Malkovich nail their roles and are a great mix of characters and just " works " Definitely a Fellini and Woody Allen tribute with the aesthetic, setting and quirks. The theme of paternal authority and sex create friction throughout his personal life and his daughters life and it really picks up around the half hour mark. Louis's agitated and confused mood works great in his show but became fatiguing at times.One thing I'm noticing is that the editing is taking a huge hit. Its still definitely watchable just not polished to the level of what it could have been. Still some hilarious moments and cuts and an enjoyable two hours. I had an indifferent approach starting this movie and ended up charmed. Ultimately I have seen Louis CK throughout the early 2000's as gaining success from his honesty about the fallacies and shortcomings of being a human being and making light of it through his comedies and honesty. If you enjoyed him before, you will definitely enjoy what he has to say about 2017 through the lens of this movie.

Deals with all of the creepiness of Woody's stuff, issues of parenting, how men treat women, letting go, growing up, and more. A really great movie even though Charlie Day was a tad unnecessary and a couple of the deep focus shots were obvious process compositions. Don't dismiss it because C.K. is a creepy, this is solid stuff.

And if Louis CK makes you that uncomfortable, buckle up.. he's not going anywhere. Hes no Roman Polanski, Phil Spector or Bill Cosby....

John Malkovich delivers on this sublime dialogue. Pamela Adlon and Edie Falco are also great.
