It’s stressful watching this dad make terrible decisions constantly and rooting for him at the same time.

Grainy, shaky, uneventful, enjoyable slice of life. Kids are great, doesn't seem like they're acting for one second, wonder how they did it

Quirky, sad, and yet somehow endearing portrayal of the Safdie brother’s loving and irresponsible father

Salman Al Farisi Prasad

Chaotic dad energy: 50% heartfelt, 50% disaster. Feels like a parenting manual written during a nervous breakdown.

It's simple, different, and is its own film (independent film vibes) You may not like it & some say the trailer isn't a good representation.

Simple, gritty little movie. Had a lot of potential but doesn’t really stick with you, early Safde’s they were still fine tuning things

Sincere and somewhat unique story about fatherhood, but honestly kinda boring. Not really unique enough for me personally...

When Safdie brothers make you cry

Safeties are always a win

Matthew Noriega

Painstakingly created, painfully real.
