The Father

“A realistic, deeply empathetic, and disquieting look at the fraying fabric of memory and identity.”

Anthony (Anthony Hopkins) is in his eighties and wants to be left alone in his London flat, where he has no intention of taking help from anyone. His daughter Anne (Olivia Colman) keeps arriving with news that she is moving away and that someone must look after him. Florian Zeller, directing his first film, sets Anthony's own certainty against the people around him, and what he stands to lose is the one thing he has always trusted, his own mind.
