I Love My Dad Reviews

An incestuous comedy. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 24, 2023

... A story that, thanks to that half-tone sensibility, is followed with interest, a few laughs, and growing anticipation. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 24, 2023

A delicate balance of self-awareness and vulnerability, disbelief and discomfort.

| Original Score: B | Jun 26, 2023

Generating guffaws, eye-rolls and winces in equal measure, the film does a good job of maximising the concept as father interacts online with son in ways neither had ever imagined.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 8, 2023

ne of the best things about cinema is that it encourages us to feel empathy for others, but in a case like this, one hopes that it will not contribute to gaslighting for people currently in vulnerable situations.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 23, 2023

It’s a film that genuinely does take the comedy of embarrassment to a new level. Morosini says that it’s based on a real incident in his own life; I can believe it. You couldn’t make it up.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 18, 2023

I Love You Dad churns up some weird, complicated feelings, but it works.

| Dec 17, 2022

...a relatively brisk comedy that benefits from a smattering of engrossing sequences and Oswalt’s stellar, captivating performance...

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Dec 10, 2022

It’s a strong showcase for Oswalt’s talents, going full pathetic odiousness in a way which is consistently entertaining to watch.

| Oct 11, 2022

[Morosini] finds a good solution to the problem presented by a story that would otherwise mostly consist of people looking at screens.

There is just one more weird thing about I Love My Dad — it is actually pretty good.

| Sep 6, 2022

Twisted as the story is, it all comes from a good place — and Patton and Morosini are just sweet enough to let us swallow the whole thing without gagging. Too much.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 2, 2022

… somewhere beneath the embarrassment humour and awkwardness so palpable it verges on unwatchable, the father-son relationship at the film’s core is surprisingly moving.

| Original Score: 15/20 | Sep 2, 2022

I Love My Dad is a side-splitting and terrifically touching true story about the revitalization of one father-son relationship, shared sincerely by James Morosini.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 1, 2022

! The ick factor is off the charts. Do not friend!

| Original Score: C | Aug 24, 2022

This has some serious Bobcat Goldthwait energy.

| Aug 20, 2022

It’s entertaining as hell, and the competing dynamics between morbid curiosity and mortification propel the viewer along, determined to see how it unfolds, but from behind their hands.

| Aug 18, 2022

Straightforward, if clumsily made, and deeply unpleasant, <I>I Love My Dad</i> is a massive opportunity for Oswalt in extremely contentious material. I was disturbed.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Aug 16, 2022

It’s exciting to see Morosini take so many chances with the way his narrative unfolds, even if they don’t all pay off.

| Aug 12, 2022

It’s a real gift that Patton Oswalt has as far as having the audience somehow not hate him all the way through the feature.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Aug 12, 2022
