My Heart Belongs to Daddy

About This Movie

So, 'My Heart Belongs to Daddy' is this intimate documentary by Brita Landoff that really captures a slice of life. It’s got Basia Frydman singing in Yiddish, and there’s something about the warmth of that living room setting that draws you in. The pacing feels organic, almost like you’re just hanging out with them. You see her dad, Simon, working away in his hairdressing salon, and it's a nice juxtaposition of their worlds. The music adds this nostalgic layer, but it’s the genuine interactions that really stand out. It's not flashy or overdone; just a beautiful, simple look at family, tradition, and the love that binds them together. Different and refreshing for sure.
