The Father 2020

Another play ... but I did like it. What a good performance from Anthony Hopkins! I know the posthumous Oscar campaign for Chadwick Boseman weighs heavily, and so it is highly likely that he will win it, but Anthony Hopkins certainly deserves it. His portrayal of an old man with dementia is so good and heartbreaking that he holds the film from beginning to end. Olivia Colman also plays a great role as the worried, hurt, and desperate daughter. The script seemed wonderful to me, and accompanied by a great editing they make one as a spectator really feel like the protagonist: confused, upset, doubting what is real and what is not. And there are scenes in which the music plays a role as important as that of the actors. It is a very good movie that I highly recommend and that allows us to see the legendary Anthony Hopkins in one of his best performances.
