Dad

About This Movie

So, 'Dad' is this interesting mix of comedy and drama, which really leans into the absurdity of grief and life’s curveballs. The premise is pretty wild—a dad dealing with the loss of his Ukrainian babysitter, taking his daughter and her friend on this chaotic truck journey. It’s not just about the transport of frozen fish; it dives deep into themes of family, loss, and survival. The pacing has this odd rhythm, like it’s building up to something but keeps you guessing. The performances are raw and genuine, particularly the dad, who perfectly captures that blend of vulnerability and determination. There's a gritty realism to the whole vibe, with practical effects that feel grounded. It’s definitely something you don’t see every day.

Absurd yet heartfelt journey. · Themes of grief and survival. · Gritty realism in performances.
