Critic Reviews

Time Out London Dave Calhoun

Feb 23, 2015

Catch Me Daddy feels authentic and informed, but wears its research lightly and prefers to thrust us into the atmosphere of the moment rather than offer too much background or tie things up neatly. Read full review

Patrick Gamble

Feb 23, 2015

Despite falling into the occasional genre trap, every step of Catch Me Daddy points to a pair of filmmakers unafraid to make brave and interesting choices. Read full review

The Telegraph Robbie Collin

Feb 23, 2015

In this wildly promising debut feature from the 36-year-old British filmmaker Daniel Wolfe, the landscape becomes a kind of holy sanctuary for two young lovers fleeing a murderous plot. Read full review

The Playlist Oliver Lyttelton

Feb 23, 2015

It's an ambitious attempt to meld the kind of social realism that made the names of Andrea Arnold and Clio Barnard with a stripped-down genre thriller, an attempt that's only moderately successful, though it suggests Wolfe is a filmmaker of real promise. Read full review

Stephen Dalton

Feb 23, 2015

Over the long haul, the Wolfe brother never quite provide enough psychological and emotional ballast to flesh out their complex, conflicted characters. But these are minor flaws in an otherwise confident, gripping, highly charged debut. Read full review

Charles Gant

Feb 23, 2015

Although the film is never less than gripping, the story beats of the chase rely on a number of coincidental encounters, while the abundance of main characters and their unpredictable natures can make them seem a bit light on psychological investigation. Read full review

Clayton Dillard

Jul 13, 2015

The film plods from one gruesome moment to the next, as if its mere aversion to optimism constitutes a philosophy. Read full review
