Blu-ray Review – I Love My Dad

While it carries a friendly title, "I Love My Dad" is a dark comedy about parental extremes, with writer/director/star James Morosini taking viewers on quite a ride with the material, which is shaped from a true story. The helmer spotlights the bad instincts and big heart of a father who doesn't understand right from wrong, generating an exploration of askew guardianship from a desperate man doing anything, I mean anything, to spend some time relearning how to engage with his emotionally fragile son. "I Love My Dad" hits a few farcical highs and some profoundly emotional lows, and while Morosini doesn't always maintain command of the feature's tone, he takes some interesting storytelling risks with the picture, which results in some major laughs and plenty of wincing along the way, making it one of the more appealingly stranger films of the year.
