As I've mentioned more than once in my blog, I dislike films about dementia.
It's a subject that disturbs me. I witnessed my grandfather suffering from
dementia. I witnessed my friend
Brian Farmer
suffering from dementia shortly before he was murdered. I had already heard
about this film and knew that it was critically acclaimed, so my rating is
purely subjective.
Anthony Hopkins plays a wealthy man who lives in London. His daughter has been
caring for him, but now she has to move to Paris. What will become of him?
What makes "The Father" unique is that it shows dementia through the eyes of
the sick person. This isn't even clear in the early stages of the film. As the
film progresses we slowly piece things together and see what's really
happening.
The performances are excellent by all involved. What else can you expected
from actors like Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Colman? I'm sure most of my
readers will enjoy the film more than I did.
Success Rate: + 4.0
