The Father

The acting from Hopkins was genuine, emotional, and unparalleled. Coleman was also very, very good. The plot was unique and heart-wrenching. I personally loved it.

This story was gut-wrenching, but so beautifully told. Such a creative idea to tell the story of this man the way they did. Absolutely worth the watch, but bring tissues!

Very well acted movie that I will probably never watch again. Because it's so upsetting to watch. It reminds me of this woman who lived at an apartment complex where my father was a maintenance man. He sort of was friends with her and had helped her do some things over the period of a few years. But I remember being asked wants to help move her stuff because she had fallen down or something I don't know what exactly. So I go help move some of her stuff and then we take her to this place that I can only describe is like a place you go die. This poor woman goes from her home to a white cinder block room with a curtain separating her from a roommate on the tiniest bed you can imagine and we left her there and I will never f****** forget how heartbreaking that was and I barely knew her.

Went into a different direction from which I hoped it would. Excellent acting but the story has been done before.

Only watched it once because it is so sad but it is amazing. You as the viewer feel like you are experiencing the dementia. The movie at times feels scary!

A heartbreaking and emotional psychological drama with an amazing performance from Anthony Hopkins.

Superb performances by Olivia Coleman and Anthony Hopkins. I watched this movie alone as my wife’s father has dementia. Realistic account of the disorientation, paranoia and hopeless confusion experienced by sufferers of the disease. Watching this movie would destroy my wife.

O A powerful performance from Coleman and Hopkins one of their career highlights, a thought provoking and accurate portrayal of the devastating effects of dementia on the whole family. Anyone who has experienced dementia in the family will connect with this film.

Dura 1.40 no le sobra ni le falta nada. Porque ya el tema en si es un drama (persona mayor con problemas demencia) pero lo tratan con mucha delicadeza. No lo amenizan no lo tornan sumamente tragico por demas. Igual lo ves a él llorando y te parte al medio. Excelente pelicula. - by Maiu -

Gut-wrenchingly sad film with a very realistic portrayal of the world of someone suffering from Dementia. Anthony Perkins is stunning in this, portraying a not so likeable character in the most human endearing way possible. So impressed with how the film plays around with the sets and cast to portray someone who's mind is slipping.
