So yes the movie is shot pretty well, it has always this sort of slow camera movement which makes it seem more professional but i personally dislike this. It makes everything look and feel just like a play in theatre. Acting is pretty goodSo yes the movie is shot pretty well, it has always this sort of slow camera movement which makes it seem more professional but i personally dislike this. It makes everything look and feel just like a play in theatre. Acting is pretty good that is nice. Music is very mediocre and forgettable in my opinion. It also serves sometimes not as a background music but as a main focus which i also dislike. Story is very confusing and all over the place which is intended feature because he has dementia and all of that but i think there are better ways to present dementia sick people in a movie, in a way that does not confuse the viewers. It is just a story about old man with dementia. Despite few emotional moments, overall very boring experience.… Expand

Analytical but lacking in compassion. Why is mental illness considered entertainment when mental health care only available to super rich? How is the writer profiting from this setup?

Sir Anthony Hopkins and the rest of the cast of The Father give engaging and important performances. But it is incredibly sad, and a tough movie to watch.

But it is incredibly sad, and a tough movie to watch. My heart goes out to the millions of people that have gone through, are now going through, and may very well go through this life changing occurance with a loved one. It's not fair, and I wouldn't wish this disease on anyone.… Expand

C’est l’histoire d’un mec… qui s’appelle Alzheimer. Mais entre-temps et en même temps, il a oublié qu’il s’appelait Alzheimer, enfin juste après qu’il se soit souvent demandé ce qu’il s’etait passé ou pas avant que ça n’arrive auparavant…C’est l’histoire d’un mec… qui s’appelle Alzheimer. Mais entre-temps et en même temps, il a oublié qu’il s’appelait Alzheimer, enfin juste après qu’il se soit souvent demandé ce qu’il s’etait passé ou pas avant que ça n’arrive auparavant…

Putain mais alors, j’y suis : c’est retour vers le futur…! ah mais non, là le gars s’appelle Parkinson, pas Alzheimer ! enfin, je crois, je ne suis pas sûr. En tout cas, les comédiens et comédiennes sont très bien… et bien sûr l’excellent Sir Anthony (oui, je crois que c’est un « Sir » si ma mémoire est bonne).

Mais le film est trop long et tourne en rond : il est en effet très répétitif comme s’il s’était coincé la tête dans une boucle infinie : où est ma montre, qui a volé ma putain de montre ?!… non, j’ai rajouté ‘putain’ mais croyez bien que Sir Anthony ne s’exprime pas comme ça. Certainement pas, non, non.

Ah mais j’y suis presque, je meuble encore un peu… (c’est les soldes chez Confo). Oui, la critique est presque finie, encore un peu de patience, le temps que je continue de meubler comme dans ce film. J’ai oublié la conclusion… oui, c’est terrible tout ça, non pas ‘terrible’ dans le sens dévoyé, comme on dit en franglais ‘c’est cool’. Non, c’est juste… terrible. D’ailleurs, en anglais, ‘terribeule’, c’est bel et bien terrible, c’est-à-dire effroyable…

Ah mais putain, je meuble trop là, y a plus de place ! oui, c’est globalement pénible ce film qui enfonce des portes ouvertes à n’en plus finir…!… Expand
