The screenplay is very true to real life. I have played the role of daddy to a woman who never had a dad. Looking back at our relationship with her i feel the pangs of guilt that i took advantage of that fact. But at the end of our relationship , she healed herself and no longer needed me. We still talk to this day.

This is such a lovely film and I fear it won't be watched by enough people; critics are yawning from their positions of privilege, attacking the simplicity of this two-hander, but they'd surely rave if it were a two-person play that became the "it" production to see off-Broadway. Good drama is good regardless of how; I hope more people see DADDIO over time, for a cathartic and authentic experience compared to the usual righteous fare.
