Call Me Dad

About This Movie

So, 'Call Me Dad' directed by Benni Setiawan is a pretty interesting blend of comedy and drama, really. The setup is quite striking—Intan, this little girl, becomes collateral for her mother’s debts, which is a heavy premise for a family film. But the way it unfolds is something else. Dedi, the debt collector, steps into her life and unexpectedly becomes a guiding figure, which adds some depth and warmth to what could've been a bleak story. The pacing feels right—there’s a mix of lighthearted moments balanced with more serious themes of family and abandonment. The performances are quite compelling, especially the interaction between Intan and Dedi, which feels genuine and layered. It's a unique take on family dynamics through a lens we don't often see.
