Product description

Product Description

Anthony (Hopkins) is 80, mischievous, living defiantly alone and rejecting the carers that his daughter, Anne (Colman), encouragingly introduces. Yet help is also becoming a necessity for Anne; she can't make daily visits anymore and Anthony's grip on reality is unravelling. As we experience the ebb and flow of his memory, how much of his own identity and past can Anthony cling to? How does Anne cope as she grieves the loss of her father, while he still lives and breathes before her?

Exceptional film for true film lovers

Reviewed in Canada on June 29, 2021

Verified Purchase

This is one of those films that not only has a well written story but is told in a way that has never been told before with twists and surprises you don't expect. The directing is outstanding. The acting is exceptional from two masters of their craft; Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Colman. Of course, the rest of the cast is brilliant too. I intend to watch this film again. One head's up, it's about a subject that isn't exactly cheery and can be hard to watch for some folks. But if you are a fan of films, a true lover of the art of movies, it's a must see.

A must see

A heartbreaking poignant look at dementia and the aftermath it causes every family member. The movie shows the extreme guilt and eventually the deep sadness when facing the decision to place a loved one in a care home.
Anthony Hopkins portrayed this role to perfection and you found yourself both laughing and crying along with him. No wonder he won Best Actor Award at this years Oscars.

Dementia is difficult for everyone

Reviewed in Canada on July 31, 2021

Dementia is a devastating condition for the ill person, but even more so for the family, loved ones, friends and society in general. The movie presents an example of what can happen. It is well-played by all, and I believe it shows dementia accurately. They say one can change behavior and exercise the brain so dementia is less likely. The message of the film is then not a quiet "Here is a sad case", but an urgent shout: "Do everything you can: puzzles, exercise, diet, whatever it takes, to avoid future dementia, and pass this message along to others".

You don't WATCH this movie, you actually LIVE this movie. You ARE the man living with dementia.

There are very few movies that you, 'experience'. The Notebook... The Father. You ARE the father living with dementia. You jump back in forth in time. People change from one moment to the next. This movie is mind-blowing. Really mind-blowing. I will never stop thinking about this experience. Simply incredible and you MUST see it yourself, maybe multiple times, to really grasp what is going on. You won't be the same afterwards.

Captivating!

Reviewed in Canada on July 18, 2021

Husband & I both were captivated throughout this story. After dealing with Alzheimer's in a grandfather & a close neighbour, it helped confirm so many feelings & experiences we had. Anthony Hopkins was truly solid in his role....actually, all the performances were on point. It is well worth a watch but be prepared for reality to press in & overtake the fiction, & vice versa!

Alzheimer's from the inside out

Reviewed in Canada on July 12, 2021

Verified Purchase

I've seen several fine films on the subject of Alzheimer's, including the excellent Canadian film "Away From Her" with Julie Christie (who also won numerous awards for her performance); "Still Alice" with Julianne Moore as a linguist who comes down with the disease; and a documentary called "I'll Be Me", about the singer/guitarist Glen Campbell, who eventually died of the disease, although he continued to perform (with monitors to read the lyrics he had forgotten) long after he came down with it. (Oddly, he remembered how to play guitar long after he forgot the songs).

But what sets "The Father" apart is that, unlike those three other films, in which one merely observes the sufferer, here one shares his experience, as it were from the inside out, even though one continues to be an observer at the same time. This is not apparent at first, but becomes so as the film progresses; and it is a shattering experience. One of the best and most disturbing films I've seen in some time. Olivia Colman is great, as always, and it's possibly Hopkins' best performance to date.

Crushingly Depressing

Reviewed in Canada on May 15, 2021

Verified Purchase

Excellent performances. Truly gives you the perspective of someone with dementia. Gives you some insight into where their erratic, even hostile behaviour is coming from. If you or your loved ones might be afflicted this will give you some notion of how hopeless and undignified your end will be , even with the best of care.

You'll remember this film - disturbing and enlightening.

Reviewed in Canada on July 2, 2021

Brilliant screenplay, superbly acted. All roles performed well but Anthony Hopkins' was a career apex - and that's really saying something, in his case. Not bad for an octogenarian!
Some movies change your mood for a day - this one will change the way you think for a lifetime.
