Only watched it once because it is so sad but it is amazing. You as the viewer feel like you are experiencing the dementia. The movie at times feels scary!

A heartbreaking and emotional psychological drama with an amazing performance from Anthony Hopkins.

Superb performances by Olivia Coleman and Anthony Hopkins. I watched this movie alone as my wife’s father has dementia. Realistic account of the disorientation, paranoia and hopeless confusion experienced by sufferers of the disease. Watching this movie would destroy my wife.

O A powerful performance from Coleman and Hopkins one of their career highlights, a thought provoking and accurate portrayal of the devastating effects of dementia on the whole family. Anyone who has experienced dementia in the family will connect with this film.

Dura 1.40 no le sobra ni le falta nada. Porque ya el tema en si es un drama (persona mayor con problemas demencia) pero lo tratan con mucha delicadeza. No lo amenizan no lo tornan sumamente tragico por demas. Igual lo ves a él llorando y te parte al medio. Excelente pelicula. - by Maiu -

Gut-wrenchingly sad film with a very realistic portrayal of the world of someone suffering from Dementia. Anthony Perkins is stunning in this, portraying a not so likeable character in the most human endearing way possible. So impressed with how the film plays around with the sets and cast to portray someone who's mind is slipping.

An authentic, heartbreaking and inventive exploration of dementia that from start till end is a spectacular film that is perfectly written and directed while Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Colman gives two absolutely remarkable performances that brings so much emotion and humanity to its layered, beautiful story. A true modern masterpiece.

With some of the best acting ever. The Father is a great movie that captivates dementia in a dramatic and emotional way. And Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Colman deliver some of their best performances.

"The Father" extremely well made & tragic drama facing one's mental decline while suffering from the disease dementia. Director, Florian Zeller throws you in the shoes of Anthony, as his confusion of memories are tough to break away from. Occasionally using actors to swap roles, the repeating of dialogue & the use of different locations keeping a familiar look in design to keep you trapped in Anthony's confusion of reality around him, it adds a certain emotional uncomfortableness to the storytelling. Anthony Hopkins & Olivia Colman both give great heartfelt performances that deserve the praise, especially Hopkins as his performance left me emotionally beaten.

Ugh. Depressing. Both of my late parents had some memory problems, and I recognize the film's value for those with loved ones suffering from dementia. But the movie played unfair games with the viewer. For it to truly work as a visualization of what it might be like to suffer with Alzheimer's, it should have presented us only events that the Anthony Hopkins character experienced. But it didn't it included scenes with other characters interacting with each other without Anthony Hopkins' character present, which made the film a liar (it wasn't showing us The Father's point-of-view if it showed events that he didn't even see). But ultimately I didn't care. I just found the movie tedious. Sure Anthony was great. He's always great. He'd be great reading a recipe aloud. (This was a "filmed play," by the way, which some folks have a problem with unless it is Oscar season.)

This movie solidifies my fear of experiencing this with my dad one day. I have never consistently cried so much through a movie. My chest hurts by the end

Πραγματικά συγκλονίζει η ερμηνεία Του Αντ. Χόπκινς. Η απόγνωση του πρωταγωνιστή στο τέλος του έργου, θα μείνει ανεξίτηλη στη μνήμη όσων παρακολουθήσουν την ταινία. Έπος μοναδικό.

"The Father" is a masterclass in filmmaking, delivering the best in storytelling, acting, and its poignant depiction of Alzheimer’s. The film profoundly captures the confusion, loss, and disorientation that come with the disease, drawing viewers into the heart-wrenching experience. Sir Anthony Hopkins delivers a career-defining performance, bringing depth, vulnerability, and brilliance to his portrayal of a man grappling with his crumbling reality. This is not just a film—it’s a deeply moving exploration of the human condition. Bravo, Sir Anthony Hopkins, for an unforgettable and powerful performance.

This movie was so powerful - putting into mind the types of challenges that families go through when dealing with this disease you felt the confusion through the screen. Anthony Hopkins is an incredible actor and this cast was just as incredible.

This film destroyed me, I have never cried like I did at the end of this film. I think this is actually what it would be like to have dementia/Alzheimer's, and it's so sad and scary. I don't like feeling big feelings but this film did it. Would recommend if you're in need of a good cry, and amazing set design and concept.

This one hits so hard... Very good movie! Anthony Hopkins shows again how complete he is as an Actor! Stunning and shocking.

This is seriously an incredible movie! It puts you in the mind of those afflicted with dementia and the impact it has on loved ones. I do however recommend those who are going to watch it to do research about dementia first! This will help you understand the signs and symptoms and make you understand this incredible movie for which it stands for. It covers ALL aspects of what it is like for carers, family and friends who are in the presence of the person or patient suffering. It also delivers a first person perspective of what it's like, through the eyes of the afflicted which i feel is incredibly educational.

Wow. Heart wrenchingly beautiful. Anthony Hopkins was definitely Oscar worthy in this role. A haunting portrayal of a terrible disease.

Amazing movie, thought provoking...a definate must see.

Kammerspill flyttet fra scene til film. Perfekt å ikke vite noe som helst om filmen før man ser den. Da trekkes man med i en spiral av glemsel og forvirring, og møter hver scene like åpent, sårbart og hudløst som The Father, Anthony, en eldre herre i dress, med en dedikert datter, Anne. Utrolig god skildring av det å bli dement. Smerten og frustrasjonen og utryggheten. Repetisjoner og små forandringer, folk som dukker opp og forsvinner. En leilighet som hele tiden forandrer seg - litt. Tiden som går i oppløsningen, og hvordan han klamrer seg til klokken sin, som hele tiden forsvinner.
