## Description

A man (Anthony Hopkins) refuses all assistance from his daughter (Olivia Colman) as he ages. As he tries to make sense of his changing circumstances, he begins to doubt his loved ones, his own mind and even the fabric of his reality.

Review: ‘I don't need any help from anyone.’ – Alzheimer’s and denial - Writer/director Florian Zeller brings his brilliantly written stage play, Le Père, to the screen as THE FATHER, directing a stunning cast that brings even more light to his deeply moving examination of aging and the effects on both the elderly and the family. The screenplay adaptation is by both Zeller and Christopher Hampton. ‘Nothing is as it seems.’ Having just frightened away his recent caregiver, Anthony (Anthony Hopkins), an London octogenarian gradually succumbing to dementia, feels abandoned when his concerned daughter Anne (Olivia Colman) tells him she's moving to Paris. Confused and upset, against the backdrop of a warped perspective and his rapid, heart-rending mental decline, Anthony is struggling to differentiate between his perception of reality and that of his daughter and caregivers. Now, as faded memories and glimpses of lucidity trigger sudden mood swings, dear ones, Anthony's surroundings, and even time itself become distorted. Why has his younger daughter stopped visiting (she is deceased)? Who are the strangers that burst in on Anthony (a new caregiver Laura – Imogen Poots and a nurse Catherine – Olivia Williams and Anne’s husband Paul – Rufus Sewell and Paul – Mark Gatiss)? The way in which Zeller has written this story captures the elements of elderly dementia/Alzheimer’s victims’ perception of the world: scenes are often played both in the imaginary state Anthony perceives and in the reality form. The technique works brilliantly. Anthony Hopkins brings credibility to this role, as do Olivia Colman and Olivia Williams. The ensemble works intricately well as the story weaves in and out of Anthony’s two worlds. The mood of the piece is heightened by the use of excerpts from operas by Purcell, Bellini, and Bizet, and the music of Ludovico Einaudi. A completely satisfying and insightful film!

Review: It's a very good movie, watch it!! - This movie is excellent! I worked with Alzheimer's patients for about 10 plus years and then took care of my own parents for 7 years. Every person with alzheimer's exhibits different symptoms of the disease. This one is very good, the acting is fabulous. It was a tad confusing with all the different people, but pretty typical. I can't wait to watch it again. Sir Anthony Hopkins is just excellent in this.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sir Anthony Hopkins's Greatest Film
*by B***A on August 11, 2023*

I urge people to experience this incredible film that showcases a father/daughter relationship as the father descends into the horrors of Alzheimer's disease. Viewers will experience the illness first hand. The acting is sublime and Sir Anthony deservingly received the Academy Award for Best Actor.Amazing structure and editing of the film will ensnare you into a personal Alhzheimer experience that I found horrific. This remarkable film is his career best. Even Clarice would agree, the lambs have been silenced.
