Daddy's Girl

About This Movie

Daddy's Girl, directed by Julia Lindström, presents a raw and intimate look into adolescence and the complexities of parent-child relationships. The setting—a rural farm—adds a sense of isolation that enhances Lo's feelings of restlessness and curiosity. The pacing is deliberate, allowing us to sit with her fantasies and frustrations, which makes the narrative feel painfully real. Rune, portrayed by a solid actor, is a relatable yet flawed figure, often oblivious to the transformation happening in front of him. Themes of sexual awakening and parental neglect intertwine, creating an atmosphere that's both uncomfortable and thought-provoking. The film’s practical effects and grounded performances offer a stark contrast to the sensationalism often found in similar stories, making it distinctive in its approach.
