Twenty-five year old literary academy student Daniel is dealing with his non-traditional sexual orientation, the perception of which in society is colored by a number of prejudices. He introduces his family, friends, and society to his lot as a homosexual pedophile – and through his creative writing, himself as well. This documentary empathetically captures public and private moments of his confessions. Daniel's deep self-reflection and emphasis on other than purely sexual values enabled the creators to present the situation of a pedophile completely and humanely. His charm, self-deprecating view, and sense of exaggeration give the film a surprising lightness and wit. (Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival)

Über Pädophilie zu sprechen ist ein wichtiges Thema, das in der Gesellschaft ein ziemliches Tabu darstellt. Sie halten sich alle für Pädophile, die aus dem gleichen Holz geschnitzt sind, und das erste, was sie tun, ist, sich auf dein Kind zu stürzen und dann... Dieser vermenschlichende Dokumentarfilm öffnet einem die Augen, und nach dem Anschauen sollte man das Thema nicht mehr geringschätzig betrachten (vorausgesetzt, man hat etwas Einfühlungsvermögen). Was dem Dokumentarfilm leider den Garaus macht, sind die statische Kameraführung, die monotonen Dialoge oder die manischen Monologe des Protagonisten. Ich finde es gut, dass Daniels Firma ihn akzeptiert und versucht, ihn zu verstehen, aber einige der Aufnahmen sind dem Gesamtthema eher abträglich (der Teufel und Nikolaus oder der Spielplatz).

It takes courage to film a similar movie, or rather to perform in it. It is brave and it is also a nice example of how it is possible to portray a psychological profile of a person with all their weaknesses and strengths. It almost surprises me how the film is being rated. Maybe we really have enough people among us who do not judge right away.

The most valuable thing about Daniel's World is that it even came into existence and that it breaks down certain taboos and allows for a glimpse into the thinking of those who have a good reason to hide their desires, thoughts, and emotions. Finding a pedophile who would reveal their true identity must have been quite a feat, but unfortunately, Veronika Lišková's abilities in that regard were somewhat exhausted. Her authorial contribution is insignificant, and I don't feel the hand of an experienced documentarian there, i.e., someone who knows how to intensify the viewer's experience, and how to process the subject matter in such a way that the viewer can orient themselves in the issue and create something that is not just the story of one student. Overall impression: 55%.

As a good teacher, I know that there are people among us who really love children, but Daniel's World is doing this "unhappily in love" community a great disservice. In her own words and with a great deal of empathy, the director flips all the established stereotypes and tries to pump them into the viewer in huge doses. Which she fails at. The title protagonist of the documentary meets the idea of the majority of society's perception of pedophiles to no end by the way he appears on screen. His manipulative speech, machined and squeezed into acting mannerisms, triggers your defense mechanisms, although you can play at being a liberal humanist all the way to the grave. The fact that it lacks a more dramatic confrontation with the other side is the creator’s fault. PS: After the screening, the director admitted that she is a new mother. She was unable to confirm or deny whether her offspring would meet Daniel.
