As Daddy Longlegs unfolds, your view of this father will change dramatically–from loving, playful father to inept, unintentionally dangerous man child–by simply letting the story unfold, which is why this film is amazing despite the increasingly unsympathetic main character. You’ll go from feeling bad that certain things are happening to him to realizing that he is making them happen. A steady undercurrent of danger & menace lace Daddy Longlegs, but rest assured, nothing actually happens, but maybe mothers who share custody of their children with their former paramours should skip this one.
