Father's Daze is this intimate drama that really dives into the struggles of a family pulled apart by divorce and the relentless machinery of the Child Support Agency in the '90s. You can really feel the weight on Ben's shoulders as a freelance photographer, suddenly thrust into the chaos of single parenthood with three young boys. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the emotional undercurrents to settle in. There's a rawness to the performances, especially in how the boys react to their new reality. It's not flashy, but it captures the essence of that difficult period with a mix of nuance and grit. The practical effects are minimal, focusing more on the character development than anything else, which feels refreshing for a film like this.
