Daddy Issues

This movie blew my mind. It was so raw and real and the actors did such an amazing job. The weird quirkiness is what really made me love this film. I highly recommend this to anyone who came to read reviews before watching this. 10/10

Maya is a lesbian neet artist who's sexually inexperienced and obsessing over an instagram influencer (jasmine) who she goes to a party to meet. Jasmine saves her from a creepy guy and maya falls even more in love. Jasmine has a sugar daddy who she has an ABDL relationship with, who turns out to be maya's long lost dad. Things get weird because feelings aren't mutual, and, because jasmine has sexual relationships with 2 related people.

I like watching movies about queer sexuality and the camera work and editing for this was beautiful but styling and character development felt simplistic and flat. Maya clearly wears things inspired by pastel jfashion, fairy kei, etc, but her outfits look like they were bought in a 20 minute mall trip. All the characters felt like they could've had more complexity and depth, as it stands, they all felt one dimensional. Maya and jasmine's relationship is questionable the entire time- common in queer relationships especially with inexperienced partners- but i wish the negative and mismatched-emotions of their relationship had more story, background, intensity, and grit.

This is the director's first film so i'm hoping future movies from her feel more fully developed and with more than superficial style.

I have had to give this movie a 10 even though I would say it's not quite worth that rating, mainly because is definitely doesn't deserve the 4 it currently has.

Ended up being quite a well acted and the story was interesting and captivating. I can only imagine people without open minds, religious types or homophobics have given this fillm 1 star in order to not allow it to been seen by a wider audience.

If you want a recommendation to see it or not then I would say definitely worth watching and do not listen to 1 star reviews. In my opinion no film that has been written, directed, acted, produced and had the time, money and effort spent on telling a story should be rated with only one star out of 10. I could probably list 100 films that I disliked more that have a much higher rating.

Just watch it decide for yourself please ... Normally I am someone who judges movies quite a bit on their IMDB rating but I'm so glad I watched this before looked on here and seeing its completely undeserved 4 stars!

This movie is definitely something, I enjoyed myself most of this film, but some of the scenes are very uncomfortable with Jasmine and the father of Maya. Leaving this movie feels like there's more to be said, This story deserved more than just that little hour, There was no character development with Jasmine, No lesson was learned, But they still managed to capture so many emotional and physical moments just right enough for me not to be bored out of my mind, The sexual tension in the beginning of this movie was just perfect, it captures what queer attraction really is, It's beautiful, I just wish the story wasn't so empty and bare, its like a blank wall, The movie was creative, but not enough. Slap some paint on that canvas! Should get a follow up, I'd be more interested.

Acting of two women leads - quite good. Natural. Im surprised they dont have a bigger portfolio of successful works.

Supporting cast, mediocre to okay. So even more kudos to the leads for carrying this and making up for their co-actors somewhat janky performances.

Found the stop motion jarring and unnecessary. Glad that stopped in the first acts. Maybe trying to film manic feelings? If so, then was a little overused.

Self destructive relationship behaviour: pretty realistic A nice balance of some hard emotions and happy emotions. Never felt overwhelming either way.

The ending during credits was quite charming. Except for the somewhat silly painting.

Overall, 7 seems like a fair rating for this. But I can understand the opinions of people who loved and hated it. It's certainly a tricky film for wide appeal. It has elements that will speak to certain minorities (lost young kids, the Euphoria crowd, others). But it also has elements that are likely to offend, and enough moments that some will find improbable and ridiculous.

I can forgive the improbable since it serves to make the story entertaining. But dont take it too seriously. This is an odd mix of serious and silly. And for the most part, the director/writers manage to pull it off. But yes, I understand the 1 ratings. And the 10s.
