The Father stars Anthony Hopkins as a man slipping into dementia, and Olivia Colman as his daughter, trying to support him. The film plays tricks with the viewer to make us identify with the father, and understand how it feels to lose your grip on reality. On our walk around the neighbourhood after the film, Susan and I were still trying to put some of the pieces together. It's a disturbing, depressing film, but a well-executed one, with an outstanding performance by Hopkins.
