Daddio is a dialogue-centered drama about a late-night taxi ride from JFK to Manhattan, where a passenger and her driver move from small talk into a revealing conversation. Dakota Johnson and Sean Penn star; Christy Hall wrote and directed the film, which runs about 100 minutes and is rated R.
What is Daddio about?
A young woman (Dakota Johnson) gets into a yellow cab at JFK. As the driver (Sean Penn) takes her toward Manhattan, the two talk, exchange stories about important people in their lives, and offer each other advice. Tribeca describes the encounter as one that develops into a bond; the film’s central situation remains the nighttime ride and the conversation unfolding inside the cab.

The setup is intentionally contained and conversation-led, rather than an ensemble story. The title alone does not establish any literal family relationship between the characters.
