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.

Even the confusion is confused

This was quite a psychologically horrifying depiction of the realities of dementia. Very interesting perspective especially as we’re made to see what the father’s going through from the confusing and subtle nuances in the different scenes.

Very good watch 7.4/10 👍

absolutely heartbreaking
