Kimber Myers Los Angeles Times 04/19/2019
[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. Go to Full Review Justin Lowe The Hollywood Reporter 07/21/2018
Manning's straightforward take on relationship dynamics proves both refreshing and empowering, making Jasmine the center of every character's attention and desire. Go to Full Review Rich Cline Gay Essential 10/08/2019
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. Go to Full Review Bradley Gibson Film Threat 05/20/2019
8/10
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. Go to Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film 07/18/2018
3/5
It takes on areas of femininity neglected by the mainstream and as such makes a particularly valuable contribution to the developing aesthetics of 21st Century queer cinema. Go to Full Review Zoe Crombie Film Inquiry 07/10/2018
Certainly not perfect but a very interesting watch, Cash's debut feature film is a well-executed musing on family, sexuality, and potentially even the Electra Complex. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

04/25/2020 Fun colorful kitchy and catchy with a twist. See more 03/16/2020 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. See more 11/27/2019 Gotta say the title put me off. But really fresh film and amazing acting all the way around See more 09/25/2019 Dark, funny, beautifully shot, amazing acting, truly a hidden gem! See more 09/25/2019 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.
