[Amara Cash's] frenetic style is the best part of "Daddy Issues," but it can't distract the audience from the film's larger problems.

Manning's straightforward take on relationship dynamics proves both refreshing and empowering, making Jasmine the center of every character's attention and desire.

There's an engagingly dreamy tone to this offbeat queer romantic comedy, continually wrong-footing the audience as the plot twists and turns around complex, likeable characters.

8/10

Cash's film is reflective and accomplished, showing the world through the eyes of a young woman challenged by a painful childhood and by the culture of her times.

3/5

It takes on areas of femininity neglected by the mainstream and as such makes a particularly valuable contribution to the developing aesthetics of 21st Century queer cinema.

Certainly not perfect but a very interesting watch, Cash's debut feature film is a well-executed musing on family, sexuality, and potentially even the Electra Complex.
