Catch Me Daddy
A young couple whose relationship has divided a community are forced on the run through the streets and moors of nocturnal Yorkshire.
Director: Daniel Wolfe and Matthew Wolfe
Overview
Laila is in hiding after her relationship with a local boy, Aaron, offends the strict religious sensibilities of her extended Pakistani family. When her father hires local hoods to assist in the search, the couple are forced to take flight once again, facing a long, dark night as they’re pursued through the backwaters of Yorkshire.
The debut feature of writer-director siblings Matthew and Daniel R. Wolfe is a hugely impressive work; an intense, relentless and stylish chase film that works as a thrilling drama while also confronting the sensitive issue of honour crimes.
