Entertainment Reviews:

DADDY LONGLEGS is a risky, heartbreaking exercise in empathy....[A] lovely, hair-raising film.
New York Times
May 14, 2010
3 stars out of 4 -- Bronstein's performance is crucial. It's difficult to make a manic character plausible, but he does.
Chicago Sun-Times

4 stars out of 5 -- DADDY LONGLEGS is a poignant, emotionally rich, sometimes playful, beautifully filmed tale of fractured fatherhood in New York City.
Box Office

[T]errifyingly funny....[Bronstein] is fantastically effective and wholly believable as a sweet and sour soul.

Product Description:

A barely competent father takes his children on a series of offbeat adventures in this comedy drama from the writing and directing team of Josh Safdie and Ben Safdie. Lenny (Ronald Bronstein) works as a projectionist at a revival theater in New York City and has been living on his own since his wife divorced him. Lenny often acts like an overgrown child, which makes things complicated when he has to look after his two young sons, Sage and Frey (Sage Ranaldo and Frey Ranaldo). Lenny finds himself spending two weeks with his kids, and he wavers back and forth between being a caring father and dragging them into situations where they don't belong; when Lenny is called in to work unexpectedly, the boys are given the run of the theater with chaotic results, and a sudden road trip to upstate New York proves little better than disastrous. Also screened as GO GET SOME ROSEMARY, DADDY LONGLEGS also features Lee Ranaldo of the acclaimed indie rock band Sonic Youth in a supporting role -- he's also the father of Sage and Frey Ranaldo, who play Lenny's sons.
