Los Angeles Times

[Amara Cash's] frenetic style is the best part of "Daddy Issues," but it can't distract the audience from the film's larger problems.

Hollywood Reporter

Manning's straightforward take on relationship dynamics proves both refreshing and empowering, making Jasmine the center of every character's attention and desire.

Gay Essential

There's an engagingly dreamy tone to this offbeat queer romantic comedy, continually wrong-footing the audience as the plot twists and turns around complex, likeable characters.

Film Threat

Cash's film is reflective and accomplished, showing the world through the eyes of a young woman challenged by a painful childhood and by the culture of her times.

Too cute, sexy, candy-colored and kinky to pass by.

A formulaic coming-of-age drama, Daddy Issues is kind of a pointless mess. After Maya meets her online crush at a party the two start to date, but things take a turn when Maya discovers that her new girlfriend is a call girl who has a sugar daddy that pays for her lifestyle. Lead actress Madison Lawlor gives a strong performance, but the rest of the cast is fairly unremarkable. And the script is rather poor and unfocused; leaving several plot threads underdeveloped. Also, the soundtrack, while featuring some good songs, is intrusive and feels more like inserted music videos. Daddy Issues isn't without its moments, but there's just too much clutter.

At its core, the story is an interesting one. Spoiler: I like that it doesn't end with someone "getting the girl." However, the script is absolutely insipid; there are moments that simply do not make sense. The music is bad and much of the film seems like a bad music video.
