Not that it is a shocking film, but from the themes of “family quarrels” it is perhaps the hardest thing that I have seen in recent years. "Catch Me, Daddy" is an independent British project, pushing its atmosphere not with a spectacle, but with content.
By the way, the atmosphere in this film is simply absorbing, there is not so much blood and death, but even without this, I think the director managed to fully implement his idea. The film begins somewhere halfway, without going into the details of why the daughter ran away from her father, it could be just a personal dislike, or a love for a Scottish young man, or something more personal that happened between her daughter and father.
And this film, as part of a much bigger problem, actually strips away any other speculation about religion, Pakistani culture, and so on. Such questions are asked exactly the least when viewing, in fact, a criminal story is laid out on the tray, in which one Pakistani family is involved.
The finale of the film remains completely open, and contrary to most cases in thrillers or detective stories, the director Daniel Woolf was again right - "Guys, everything I wanted, I told you." If you do not run into more global issues of morals, family or cultural values, and purely focus on the gap shown in the film "Catch me, Daddy", I think this is one of the best independent directorial debuts of the past year.
