The Father 2020

The simplicity of this movie makes the complexities of the mind in Alzheimer’s all the more heartbreakingly clear. Both Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Colman play their roles with such care. At once emotions of love, confusion, hurt and pain fleet across their characters’ faces in juxtaposition to each other as they navigate this cruel disease. Words meant simultaneously to defend and cut are thrown about as carelessly as you’d expect which makes them all the more poignant. If you’ve ever watched someone go through Alzheimer’s this movie will be an emotional roller coaster of a time you want to forget. If you haven’t it will seem horrifically unbelievable. It isn’t. This is what it is. Exceptional movie.
