Queensland Premiere.
After landing into JFK airport, a woman takes a taxi ride home to her Manhattan apartment. During her journey, she engages in unexpectedly candid conversations about relationships, sex, power dynamics, loss, and vulnerability with her driver, a warm and unassuming middle aged man.
Starring Sean Penn and Dakota Johnson, who also produced the film, the two share an undeniable chemistry. Penn gives a tremendously engaging performance as a salty, working-class New York taxi driver, while Johnson perfectly portrays a vulnerable Manhattan woman navigating the complexities of modern love and a complicated relationship.
Written and directed by Christy Hall, Daddio premiered at the 2023 Telluride Film Festival to rave reviews, showcasing a compelling exploration of human connection and introspection.
Cast: Dakota Johnson and Sean Penn.
We are pleased to present the Short Film, Lean In, prior to the feature screening.
