Sundance 2010 Preview: DADDY LONGLEGS

By  | 

Movies like DADDY LONGLEGS are the reason I go to Sundance. Little indie nuggets that I absolutely fall in love with. Not saying that is always the case, but after watching this trailer I definitely think this film has what it takes to steal my heart(awww). More so because I can relate to being divorced and not getting to spend as much time with your kids as you would like. Be on the lookout for this film.

What is even better about this movies is the fact that while we are watching it at Sundance, you can watch it at home thanks to Sundance Selects VOD service. Direct From the Sundance Film Festival titles will be available for 30 days in a Sundance-branded section on participating cable systems’ main movies-on-demand channels.For more information, check this out.

Official Synopsis:

With Daddy Longlegs (formerly known as Go Get Some Rosemary), Josh and Benny Safdie have crafted a realistic fairy tale that captures the magic of parenthood, invoking memories of their inventive dad from their own childhood.

Divorced and alone, Lenny (the perfectly cast Ronald Bronstein) is the father of two young boys he gets to see a couple of weeks a year. He cherishes these days with the kids, being both stern parent and lovable buddy, inventing myths and somehow living them, all while working overtime in the big city. When the going gets tough, Lenny uses some unusual, perhaps even hazardous, techniques to keep the kids safe from the world.

Because of the film’s fluid style, we feel that we are in the boxing ring alongside Lenny, as flawed as he is charismatic, champion of each day, yet totally black and blue. As the storm of society continually rains on him, Lenny laughs through it all. Isn’t life crazy?
