It places us in the mind of someone losing his mind -- and it does so by revealing that mind to be a place of seemingly rational and coherent experience.
Variety
3.5 stars out of 4 -- Writer/director Florian Zeller, adapting his prize-winning, 2012 French play of the same name with the help of the legendary Christopher Hampton has pulled off a dazzling feat here.

Emotionally, rationally, and chronologically, The Father whips its viewers around like rag dolls.

Rating: 5/5 --
Deeply sympathetic but never patronising, The Father is a gentle-handed yet powerful film that forces us through Hopkins's extraordinary performance to have an albeit fleeting window into what living with dementia could be like.

Rating: 5/5 --
This is a tragic portrait painted with colors of horror; a study of empathy that tries to put the audience in the mind of a man who is in the process of losing it. [Full review in Portuguese[

Rating: 4/5 --
Childlike vulnerability hasn't been something Hopkins has opened up to show us in a long, long while, but he seems ready for this role, hungry to do it, and you may not be prepared for how deep he goes.

Daily Telegraph (UK)
Hopkins methodically strips away every quality we’ve come to expect from him....In doing so, he helps convey the full tragedy and horror of dementia: the way it can make someone almost unrecognizable to themselves and their loved ones.

Product Description:
At 80 years old, Anthony (Anthony Hopkins) finds himself dependent on his daughter Anne (Olivia Colman) for everything. Anne, however, is not planning on staying to take care of him as she wants to move to Paris to be with her boyfriend. Before she does, though, she wants to make sure that her father has someone who will look after him. Anthony detests this and tries his best to scare everyone Anne hires. But soon enough, his brain begins to play tricks on him. Directed by Florian Zeller.
