Dad

About This Movie

So, 'Dad' is quite a dive into the tangled emotional landscape between a father and daughter, spurred by mental illness. The animation is a bit raw but it suits the personal, almost diary-like quality of the film. It’s got this haunting atmosphere that really pulls you in, and the pacing feels deliberate, mirroring the struggles the author faced growing up. You see the layers of conflict unfold, and it’s not just about the father’s illness, but also the daughter’s struggle to break away and find her own identity. The voice acting feels genuine, almost like a therapy session at times. It’s unique in how it combines animation and documentary to explore such heavy themes, and that’s what really stands out here.
