I Love My Dad

It’s a film that genuinely does take the comedy of embarrassment to a new level. Morosini says that it’s based on a real incident in his own life; I can believe it. You couldn’t make it up.

It’s a strong showcase for Oswalt’s talents, going full pathetic odiousness in a way which is consistently entertaining to watch.

It’s exciting to see Morosini take so many chances with the way his narrative unfolds, even if they don’t all pay off.

Patton Oswalt plays the estranged father posing online as a young woman in the off-putting would-be comedy...

I think the operative word here is "cringe."

It's really funny, sweet, and goes to some places.

An incestuous comedy. [Full review in Spanish]

... A story that, thanks to that half-tone sensibility, is followed with interest, a few laughs, and growing anticipation. [Full review in Spanish]

A delicate balance of self-awareness and vulnerability, disbelief and discomfort.

Generating guffaws, eye-rolls and winces in equal measure, the film does a good job of maximising the concept as father interacts online with son in ways neither had ever imagined.
