The Father is an unforgettable and powerful movie about a man struggling with progressing dementia. He is portrayed by Anthony Hopkins, who offers a performance for the ages.
Hopkins plays Anthony, a mischievous old man who refuses help from his daughter as his illness gets worse and is stubborn about his desire to live alone. Despite his determination, Anthony unravels, slowly losing his grip on his life and reality itself.
The movie does a great job at showcasing the headspace of someone losing their memory. It’s disorienting and almost unbearably sad, just like the illness it features. Devastating and absorbing, it will stay with you for a long time.
