Starring Sean Penn and Dakota Johnson, Daddio was a critical success following its release last year. Its limited theatrical run only yielded $1.1 million at the box office, but the realistic dialogue, emotionally charged situations, and use of an on-set virtual production have led to a growing base of fans.
The film follows Girlie (Dakota Johnson) as she lands at JFK International Airport in New York and hops into a taxicab driven by Clark (Sean Penn). Throughout the movie’s 101-minute runtime, the driver and passenger engage in an unexpected series of conversations that range from relationships, sex, and loss. Hence some of the Qantas Airline passenger annoyance.
The dialogue between the characters is graphically honest at times, peeling back the layers that separate superficiality and intimate familiarity between two people.
