Starring Elijah Wood, Stephen McHattie, Garfield Wilson, Madeleine Sami and Martin Donovan. Norval Greenwood, a privileged man-child arrives at the beautiful and remote coastal cabin of his estranged father, who he hasn’t seen in 30 years. He quickly discovers that not only is dad a disapproving jerk, he also has a shady past that is rushing to catch up with him. Now, hundreds of miles from his cushy comfort zone, Norval must battle with demons both real and perceived in order to reconnect with a father he barely knows.
“Wild, weird and yet nothing less than wholly sincere in its focus on the father-son relationship at the core of the film, Timpson’s brilliant debut feature reveals an unambiguously great filmmaker.” – Alexandra Heller-Nicholas, Film International
“Ant Timpson’s debut feature Come To Daddy is a weird and wild ride, full of surprises and a superb performance from star Elijah Wood.” – Rachel West, That Shelf
“A blast, a fever dream to enjoy for its twisty chicanery, but it’s also a smart and thoughtful film…” – Leigh Monson, Birth.Movies.Death.
“Dark, unexpected, bloody and fucking hilarious – not to be missed!” – Zoe Rose Smith, JumpCut Online
“Funny and F’ed in the head with a cartoonish sense of humor that borders on magical realism, Come to Daddy is a strange brew, but it’s a good one.” Haleigh Foutch, Collider
“Eccentric, engaging and brutally unapologetic in its violence, Come to Daddy wears it’s uniqueness on its sleeve. Strap in, you’re in for a whirlwind of blood, hipsters, and stationery.” – Kat Hughes, THN
