Father
'The Father' is a stunning reminder of the power of the medium and how it - and even cinema's most familiar faces - can still surprise.
The Father
Anthony (Academy Award winner Anthony Hopkins) is 80, mischievous, living defiantly alone and rejecting the caregivers that his daughter, Anne (Academy Award and Golden Globe winner Olivia Colman), encouragingly introduces. Yet help is also becoming a necessity for Anne; she can't make daily visits anymore and Anthony's grip on reality is unraveling. As we experience the ebb and flow of his memory, how much of his own identity and past can Anthony cling to? How does Anne cope as she grieves the loss of her father, while he still lives and breathes before her? The Father warmly embraces real life, through loving reflection upon the vibrant human condition; heartbreaking and uncompromisingly poignant -- a movie that nestles in the truth of our own lives.
