The God-daddy

About This Movie

The God-daddy is an intriguing documentary that dives deep into the life and career of Milan Bandić, a complex figure in Croatian politics. Over the span of nearly forty years, it captures not just his political maneuvers but also his personality—think of him as a quintessential opportunist, much like Trump in certain aspects. The pacing can feel uneven at times, oscillating between moments of intense scrutiny and lighter, almost absurd anecdotes. The film's tone is reflective, offering a mix of admiration and criticism. It manages to blend archival footage with contemporary interviews, which gives it a rich texture. There’s a grit to the practical effects, as the rawness of the subject matter complements the unpolished moments in the film. Definitely a unique piece for those interested in political documentaries.
