Review of The Dresser (2015) by Frank-Raymond P — 20 Dec 2016

Sir (Anthony Hopkins): Hate the critics? I have nothing but compassion for them. How can one hate the crippled, the mentally deficient, and the dead?

With two titans of the silver screen on board, what else would you expect but perfection and what a perfect performance did they bring? It comes as no surprise that Sir Anthony Hopkins and Ian McKellen would deliver very riveting and powerful performances. As an audience, you are just captivated by their presence; you just can't turn away from them and they owned every minute they were on scene. Emily Watson and Sarah Lancashire did beautifully as well and portrayed their characters marvelously: oozing with quiet, admirable strength that would make their gender proud. They were the perfect supporting cast, seemingly unassuming but all too vital to the story. Overall, the story was very entertaining and everyone's performances, thoroughly enjoyable to watch.
