The Telegraph

Feb 23, 2015

In this wildly promising debut feature from the 36-year-old British filmmaker Daniel Wolfe, the landscape becomes a kind of holy sanctuary for two young lovers fleeing a murderous plot.

By Robbie Collin FULL REVIEW

Time Out London

Feb 23, 2015

Catch Me Daddy feels authentic and informed, but wears its research lightly and prefers to thrust us into the atmosphere of the moment rather than offer too much background or tie things up neatly.

By Dave Calhoun FULL REVIEW

Total Film

Feb 23, 2015

Blending the mythical resonances of The Searchers with lyricism and bristly realism, Wolfe’s harrowing, haunting dispatch from Brit-cinema’s undergrowth is strong meat: emphatic evidence of a bold talent’s arrival.

By Kevin Harley FULL REVIEW

The Playlist

Feb 23, 2015

It's an ambitious attempt to meld the kind of social realism that made the names of Andrea Arnold and Clio Barnard with a stripped-down genre thriller, an attempt that's only moderately successful, though it suggests Wolfe is a filmmaker of real promise.

By Oliver Lyttelton FULL REVIEW

The Hollywood Reporter

Feb 23, 2015

Over the long haul, the Wolfe brother never quite provide enough psychological and emotional ballast to flesh out their complex, conflicted characters. But these are minor flaws in an otherwise confident, gripping, highly charged debut.

By Stephen Dalton FULL REVIEW

The Guardian

Feb 23, 2015

Opinions will divide as to the film's final moments: some may find it all too much, and the film does not quite digest everything it wants to encompass. But there an energy and boldness in the debut work from Daniel Wolfe.

By Peter Bradshaw FULL REVIEW

Slant Magazine

Jul 13, 2015

The film plods from one gruesome moment to the next, as if its mere aversion to optimism constitutes a philosophy.
