The Father

Saw a preview last night. Brilliant film, moving, tender, sad, poignant, confusing in places, but a depiction of the life of a man suffering from dementia. Having had personal experience of this situation, so many incidents accurately touched my own memories. Would be a difficult film to watch for anyone currently or recently coping with the issue.
Anthony Hopkins performance is unbelievably believable. Olivia Coleman too, genuine love for her father in difficult circumstances, a superb piece of acting.
In a world of films where substance often comes a poor second to style and special effects, The Father is measured, beautifully portrayed and above all reality, if you can bear the emotional burden.
