Review of The Father (2020) by Filmol — 27 Feb 2021
I’m simultaneously in awe and devastated by this film. I was fortunate to see this twice and it was even better on the 2nd viewing. Every aspect from the direction, pov story-telling, clever production design and especially the performances are outstanding.
Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Colman, what a combination! Hopkins gives a masterful performance for the ages. His last scene is stunning and will stay with me long after. While Hopkins is the soul of the film, Colman is the heart and emotion.
She conveys the anguish and frustration with the slightest change in her eyes and expression. You can’t help but empathize with her. Don’t hesitate to see this film. Yes, the subject matter is depressing but it’s a universal story that should not be missed.
