The Father

Bad story telling

The role that upset Chadwick Boseman at the Oscars. Hopkins absolutely deserved his 2nd Best Actor win in what is perhaps the greatest portrayal of dementia ever put to film. Non-linear story telling with a heart wrenching ending like no other. Don’t skip this one!

The Father is an overwhelmingly devastating depiction of the painfully progressive disease that is dementia. Anthony Hopkins delivers an award-worthy, powerfully compelling performance.

TW: do not watch it if you are unprepared to be completely gutted and devastated.

Fantastic acting and performances, really tough watch!!!

what a harrowing movie but so beautifully filmed but I also cried the entire time and it was heart wrenching so #watchatyourownrisk

This is basically Memento for old people. Whatever you do, don’t watch this with your parents; now my mom keeps repeating that she’s scared to grow older :-(
