    Excellent film!!

    The Father is simply one of the best films released in the last several years with Sir Anthony Hopkins giving one of his best performances in his long career as a man who suffers from dementia and really can't remember a lot of important events in his life. What makes this film so intriguing is that it places the viewing audience in the mind of the Anthony Hopkins character Anthony, so it is like experiencing dementia through his mind. The blu-ray picture is absolutely stunning. A highly recommended film.

    The Father - An Actor's Dream

    First there is the play and then comes the film. THE FATHER is a story about the declining years of the family patriarch and what it does to the rest of his family, namely his daughter. A part like this would be any actor's dream, and it certainly was for 80 something, semi-retired, Anthony Hopkins, who picked up his second Academy Award for Best Actor after a 30-year gap. If you want to see some really good performances and a tight story, check out this film.

    What is real?

    Having had a member of my family suffer from dementia, and knowing a fair number of other people who likewise have had their mental capacities diminish, this film touched me deeply. It is confusing -- and is meant to be. Stick with it. You experience "reality" as does the central character, Anthony (played magnificently by Anthony Hopkins). The love of Anne (played by Olivia Coleman) for her father and the way she suffers along with him truly hits home.

    Anthony Hopkins' Best Performance.

    I went into this wondering just how Anthony Hopkins beat out Chadwick Boseman for Best Actor at the Academy Awards and then I saw it and understood. Ultimately, I feel that they made the right call. Hopkins gave a soul shattering performance and demonstrated that even in his eighties, he's still one of the best in the business. His final scene in the movie will floor you.

    Relevant family drama

    If you’re a fan of Anthony Hopkins as an actor… don’t miss this film. He plays a senior citizen afflicted with a bad case of forgetfulness and dementia and the family struggles that go with it. It’s a good family drama and kid relevant to what many families deal with today. No violence, gunfire, car chases or explosions. Just a good film that will tug at your heartstrings
