Movie Review: ‘Come To Daddy’ Is Wonderfully Weird And Warped

Come To Daddy…I was not prepared for the film. From the very beginning, I had a tense, uneasy feeling. Little did I know, that feeling would only grow. Elijah Wood has portrayed a lot of odd characters in the past, but Norval in Come to Daddy has to be the weirdest. In the film, Norval receives a letter from his estranged father that abandoned him and his mother when he was five. The letter asks Norval (Woods) to come for a visit, but as soon as he arrives he’s confronted by a man (Stephen McHattie, “October Faction”) whom he thinks is his father. After a few days of tense interactions and violent outbursts, Norval begins to question his situation. Soon he makes a discovery that leaves him fighting for his life. I have long been a fan of Elijah Wood, he’s a talented actor. However, his character in this movie is just unlikable. Norvel is a pathetic, whiny, wuss, and

Movie Review: Come to Daddy (2019)

Learn as little as possible about Come to Daddy — that includes avoiding trailers, though the one presented below thankfully avoids the film’s biggest reveals — and prepare for a highly uncomfortably blast. Director Ant Timpson’s genre-bending feature is chock full of secrets, well-calculated twists, and bravura performances. Family drama, gruesome set pieces, pitch-black humor, and even some poignant bittersweetness collide in the story of man-child Norval’s (Elijah Wood, Maniac; Cooties) travels to a remote beach house to meet his father, who abandoned Norval and his mother 30 years earlier. Norval was initially nervous about the reunion, but nothing prepared him for the verbal abuse and physical threats he receives courtesy of his highly aggressive, judgmental father (Stephen McHattie, Pontypool; Dreamland ), who chides Norval about his substance abuse recovery despite his own fondness for the bottle. In a nail-bitingly tense scene, the father plays an excrutiating game of mental chess regarding how well Norval actually knows rock music legend
