The Father

CriticsCritics: 93
AudienceAudience: 8.3

An aging man refuses help from his daughter while struggling to understand the changes around him. As familiar people, places, and memories become increasingly difficult to trust, he tries to hold on to his independence and make sense of a reality that feels unstable.

My take

You may appreciate this deeply emotional, unsettling drama if you value powerful performances and unconventional storytelling; Not for you if you prefer light, straightforward films or want to avoid stories about dementia and family strain.
