The TelegraphRobbie CollinFeb 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

CineVuePatrick GambleFeb 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

Time Out LondonDave CalhounFeb 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

Total FilmKevin HarleyFeb 23, 2015
Blending the mythical resonances of The Searchers with lyricism and bristly realism, Wolfe’s harrowing, haunting dispatch from Brit-cinema’s undergrowth is strong meat: emphatic evidence of a bold talent’s arrival. Read full review

VarietyCharles GantFeb 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

The GuardianPeter BradshawFeb 23, 2015
Opinions will divide as to the film's final moments: some may find it all too much, and the film does not quite digest everything it wants to encompass. But there an energy and boldness in the debut work from Daniel Wolfe. Read full review

Slant MagazineClayton DillardJul 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
