Best film I've seen in ages: "The Father"
Director Florian Zeller, who co-wrote the script based on his own play, inventively tells the story of dementia in a way that's never been told before. Through production design, editing, acting and directing, the film engulfs the viewer so completely that they become part of the story. Sir Anthony Hopkins gives the performance of a lifetime too, and that's saying something.
I thought the world of Mank, Trial of the Chicago 7, Promising Young Woman, One Night in Miami (should have been nominated for best picture) and Ma Rainey's Black Bottom (ditto), but The Father, IMO, is inspired genius.

The writing, Directing, Acting were stellar. Sir Anthony Hopkins looks so much like my late father. When I saw him in Hearts of Atlantis, I was dumbstruck by the resemblence.
MIL -- same here.

(32,506 posts)I thought director Regina King did an awesome job. Another Oscar snub IMO. Should be up for Best Director.
Stellar acting here too.
