Daddy Longlegs

Opens Jul 30, 2010
A hilarious and refreshing new comedy from up-and-comers Benny and Josh Safdie, Daddy Long Legs introduces us to Lenny (Ronald Bronstein), a charismatic and loving but completely unpredictable and unreliable father of two. A movie projector by day, Lenny only receives custody of his young boys (Sage and Frey Ranaldo) for two weeks each year: these two weeks. In this loosely autobiographical film, the Safdies paint a charming and affectionate portrait of two young boys and a reckless man struggling to become their responsible father. Daddy Long Legs marks the arrival of remarkable new talent. “Lenny is completely appalling, and also completely himself, a kind of mad, disturbing integrity that is both matched and mitigated by the honesty of this lovely, hair-raising film.”  (A.O. Scott, New York Times)
