The Father= 9.5/10 A searing gut punch that shows the absolute universal unfairness of growing older. The struggle to hold on to who we are. Sir Anthony proves once again why he is the greatest actor of the last 50+ years. Astounding Perfection!

An uncomfortable topic told uncomfortably; not everyone’s cup of tea, but definitely one of the best movies of the year helmed by two incredible performances

The moment-to-moment pleasures of trying to decipher the plot give way to crushing futility; you’re left sifting through the pieces of a puzzle that’s almost too painful to solve.

Hopkins methodically strips away every quality we’ve come to expect from him—the refinement, the silver tongue, the imposing intensity he lent Lecter and Nixon and Titus—until there’s nothing left but frailty and distress. In doing so, he helps convey the full tragedy and horror of dementia: the way it can make someone almost unrecognizable to themselves and their loved ones.

For a movie that follows a character’s perspective while remaining aware of his shortcomings, The Father marks a modest and involved debut from Zeller.
