Movie Reviews

Reviews:
"THE FATHER takes a bracingly insightful, subtle and nuanced look at encroaching dementia and the toll it takes on those in close proximity to the afflicted." - 01/27/2020 Hollywood Reporter


"It places us in the mind of someone losing his mind -- and it does so by revealing that mind to be a place of seemingly rational and coherent experience." - 01/27/2021 Variety


"Hopkins methodically strips away every quality we’ve come to expect from him....In doing so, he helps convey the full tragedy and horror of dementia: the way it can make someone almost unrecognizable to themselves and their loved ones." - 12/18/2020 A.V. Club


3.5 stars out of 4 -- "Writer/director Florian Zeller, adapting his prize-winning, 2012 French play of the same name with the help of the legendary Christopher Hampton has pulled off a dazzling feat here." - 02/25/2021 RogerEbert.com


"Hopkins turns in one of his greatest performances in years playing a man with dementia trying to make sense of time and reality around him as his memory fades." - 12/13/2020 USA Today


"[I]t’s a film to make you sit in the dark long after the credits have run and look deep into things from which we usually look away." - 03/10/2021 Boston Globe


"Using a role modified for the screen with Hopkins in mind, this direct adaptation offers an arresting showcase for the veteran’s skillset..." - 12/03/2021 Sight and Sound
