Review of The Father (2020) by Dawdlingpoet — 16 Jan 2022
This is a tough watch for anyone who has had personal experience of dealing with or caring for a relative with dementia. I thought Hopkins gave a very convincing performance (as does Olivia Colman) and the way the timeline works is quite clever - it leaves the viewer perhaps questioning what the titular father questions (I'll say no more so as not to provide full blown spoilers).
It isn't what I'd regard an unnecessarily over exploitative sentimental type film, I'm glad to say. It seemed very true to life, for what little I know. Yes I'd recommend it.
