, a film about a woman who gets in a taxi from JFK airport to her home in Midtown Manhattan. During the ride, she strikes up a conversation with her driver, leading to a deep connection as they talk about relationships, love, family, and all of the things that make people human. I love films like this, especially being a born and bred New Yorker; seeing a movie set entirely at night in this gorgeous city makes me happy.
If I were to compare Daddio to two movies from a stylistic perspective, I would say Locke and Before Sunrise . It contains the DNA of a lot of the ingredients that make a chamber piece work. We have two characters who are strangers to each other but learn a lot about each other over the course of one intimate evening. Dakota Johnson plays Girlie, the woman in the cab, while Sean Penn plays Clark, the cab driver.
Daddio mainly focuses on Girlie, who spends parts of the film receiving sexually explicit texts from someone on her phone. Clark notices her reaction to the texts, and they unpack a lot about her situation. He gives her advice, a lot of which is based on his own life. Through learning about Clark, we learn that he is a very flawed person who has done many things that can be frowned upon.
