What is The Father about?

The Father tells the story of Anthony (played by Hopkins), an aged man suffering from dementia.

Unable to discern the real from his hallucinations, Anthony lives with his daughter Anne and son-in-law Paul but becomes increasingly unable to identify them.

Anne begins to appear as two different people and Anthony starts to believe that a watch has been stolen from his flat.

Anthony becomes fixated on his caretaker Laura, who looks like his late daughter Lucy. He refuses to accept Lucy's death and battles traumatic memories which surface as a result.

Rolling Stone have written about the film "The drama that plays out therein is full of slips of memory, confusions of identity, disorienting conflations of place and event."

Wall Street Journal writes: "Actor merges with character in a performance that’s astonishing and inspiring in equal measure."
