Film Synopsis: The Father. A man (played by Anthony Hopkins) refuses all assistance from his daughter Anne (played by 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! What would you do if your father was in this type of condition? How could you cope? What would you do to help him – is there anything humanly possible….anything??? To have a parent in such a state as this one….

Powerful. A masterpiece. The Father. Everything that was said about this movie in the trailer is what this movie is, was, and always will be. This film takes you – literally on the journey of a person (the father) who has the condition of dementia. I literally felt as if Sir Anthony (who plays the father) Hopkins was the ideal and perfect choice to portray the main role for the film. I have not seen him act in a movie since RED 2 back in 2013.



“A powerful piece of film!” #TonightWithTrav
Thank you!!! I'm afraid this looks like a tear jerker, I will have the tissues handy!! I love Anthony Hopkins!
I absolutely love the way you described the movie. I’m so scared to watch dementia progress as the main plotline of a movie because it’s about how everyone suffers around the parent or loved one. I’ve never seen a movie from the viewpoint of the one confused, the one feeling the shifting and changing around him. There are some great actors in this movie and I know we’re in for a movie that will wrench your heart with its reality of it. Mary Kay

Awesome and hands tied behind your back kinda movie. It’s nothing you can do or say to make things better. One day your love one knows you and the next day their screaming because a stranger is in their house. Or they don’t recognize their own surroundings and they tell you to “take them home” or they leave in the wee hours of they morning trying to find their home. Cry, yes all you can do is cry but never in front of them. You have ALWAYS got to hold things together.
Travis brought back painful memories that SHOULD NOT BE FORGOTTEN. If you live long enough you might have to hope that someone had seen THIS MOVIE💕
Truthfully, it IS a tear jerker! IT IS! IT IS! Have tissues handy!
Thanks, Mary for your kind and sweet words. I always try to relate my reviews to the real world and real life situations and circumstances. Xoxox
