Due to outstanding writing, stylish, dazzling direction, and a breathtaking, radiant performance from Kelly McCormack, the drama never lets the audience go and proves to be a searing examination of its young protagonist and the society she lives in. Read full review

Sugar Daddy will be gripping viewing for anyone who wonders what it takes to make it – and whether it’s all worth it in the end. Read full review

McCormack and Morgan aren’t interested in sanitizing the messiness that goes into a woman accepting herself outside the men’s world she was born into. It’s why finding financing took years. It’s also why Sugar Daddy is so uniquely good too, though. They’ve put an honest, coarse, and authentic human being on-screen who’s breaking through the façade she didn’t even know she was helping to cultivate. Read full review

The story may be simplistic at certain points, but I think it's more than anything because of the notorious imbalance that exists between the life that she leads in that line of work, and how it affects her artistic work.

Internal and external moral dilemmas are a crucial part of the film and it doesn't come off very well in everything, but it provokes the debate, and that ends up being decisive for the better functioning of the whole thing.… Expand
