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!

8/10 - Heartbreaking film that highlights the reality of Alzheimer’s disease. This film was unbelievably sad in more ways than one, especially at the final act. Anthony Hopkins was absolutely brilliant in this film, as was Olivia Colman, two incredible actors. Truly devastating.

😭😭😭😭

8.2

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.
