DALLAS—Come to Daddy, now playing at your neighborhood zinc bar, the one with French-speaking bartenders in pastel bodystockings, is one of those arthouse genres that I call International Coded Clusterfuck.‍

[explains that in three paragraphs]

Nowhere Productions, the Los Angeles company that developed and financed it—or, based on the 97 distribution logos at the start of the movie, arranged the financing—calls it a “black comedy thriller,” which is, of course, an oxymoron designed to sound cool when you’re sharing a lonkero with Lars at the Night Visions Festival in Helsinki.

Come to Daddy is the directorial debut of Ant Timpson, a New Zealand producer responsible for Deathgasm and The Greasy Strangler, and he apparently majored in Dealmaking and Production Design. He says this is a personal film about his own father, but . . . let’s hope he’s just saying that to make for a cool hipster story, since the third act involves carrying out more than one murder to atone for his father’s sins.
