Robbie Ryan's wonderful, wonky cinematography dominates an unusual, wrenching take on “honour” killings, from first-time British director Daniel Wolfe.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 26, 2023

Wolfe’s achievement here is something to behold; bleak and beautifully shot by ace cinematographer Robbie Ryan, Catch Me Daddy throws a bridge between classic British social realism and revenge tragedy with both sincerity and style.

| Dec 26, 2023

A mature and serious-minded work that will appeal to fans of artfully gritty British social realism in the tradition of Ken Loach, Andrea Arnold and Lynne Ramsay.

| Dec 26, 2023

An exhilaratingly tense and stylish thriller that is a sure-fire sign of promising things to come.

Catch Me Daddy is a gripping account of a troubled night for two lovers on the run.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 15, 2015

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

| Original Score: .5/4 | Jul 13, 2015

Some may find it intolerable, but this latterday western has much more to offer than misery.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 1, 2015

So lyrical and so unsparing that it becomes something more than just a genre film; something more like a poetic-realist fugue and a despairing howl at the state of contemporary Britain.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 27, 2015

[A] promising debut from the British directors Daniel and Matthew Wolfe.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 27, 2015

What begins as a kitchen sink riff on John Ford's The Searchers, quickly escalates into a full-blown Shakespearean tragedy.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Feb 27, 2015

A bold and uncompromising debut feature from a bright new directing team. There's a question over whether it justifies its own misery, but if you care about homegrown cinema then you have to see it.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 26, 2015

The clever obfuscation of fact and context is, in the end, what makes the film worth catching.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 26, 2015

The largely unknown cast's performances are exactly right: mimed distillations of moments of being and feeling.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Feb 26, 2015

In time, you suspect Daniel Wolfe will make an exceptional film. For now, this is a terrifically bright start.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 23, 2014

This unblinking and upsetting debut British film gives us surprising scenes and moods all along the way

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 19, 2014

Music video helmer Daniel Wolfe and his brother Matthew confirm that style and content need not be mutually exclusive with their impressive feature debut ...

| May 16, 2014

The film does not quite digest everything it wants to encompass. But there an energy and boldness in the debut work from Daniel Wolfe.
