Drama squared! At the very beginning the film confused me a little… but from about the 10th minute I followed Anthony Hopkins' performance and cried. Gorgeous! By the way, Olivia Colman was great. I really liked her role! Translated to English
I saw it in the cinema 2 times and maybe I’ll go the same number more. It is not a pity to spend money on such a cinema. Everything that I love is collected here – my favorite actor, intimacy, a minimum of locations, suspense, British English, classical music, justified violation of chronology and hopelessness Translated to English
The movie is more interesting not by its history, but by immersion into the mind of a person with dementia thanks to editing and the work of an art director, where the viewer is in the same confusion as the hero of E. Hopkins – well-deserved Oscar nominations for these points, as well as for acting. Translated to English
A movie of an interesting form visualizing senile dementia, together with Hopkins we are slowly going crazy, confusing characters, failing in memory and sad that old age is not a joy. The old man was right into the role of the old man. The picture is devoted to one theme and slightly melodramatic. Translated to English
Great movie! Anthony Hopkins played the title role very well and deservedly won an Oscar! Indeed, you would not wish such old age on anyone, a very sad ending. I recommend this movie to everyone! This really needs to be seen by everyone! Translated to English
A wonderful film with a very good performance by Anthony. The movie is completely non-linear and from here it looks with great interest. Translated to English
Quality drama. Completely absorbs your attention. I never thought about what goes on in the head of people who lose their memory. This movie shows just how scary it is. Thanks to the whole crew for this masterpiece. Hopkins is a genius! Translated to English
The film begins somehow sluggishly, but the subsequent leapfrog with time, place and characters captivates. In general, the film is sad, it is especially difficult to watch it closer to the finale. Hopkins plays the role with anguish, it’s a pity for his character (as I understand it, he has Alzheimer’s disease). Oscar expected. Translated to English
It is terrible that there is no insurance against old age alone with a mind that cannot be trusted. 7.5 out of 10. Translated to English
The film tells about the difficult life of elderly people. Before this, I had never thought about how difficult it can be in old age. The disease is shown in a terrible way; I don’t know whether this illness was reliably conveyed. Anthony is well, a well-deserved Oscar, although I don’t like this tolerant award. Translated to English
In contrast to the typical "pity" on the topic of old age, there are no uniquely "positive" characters here. Each character has his own thoughts and feelings, sometimes they go against morality. But it is necessary not only to be able to play dementia so convincingly, it must be felt. "Father" is still how it works! Translated to English
There’s so much to write about the film – the chic non-linearity, the knock-down geometry of the living space, the perfect "unreliable narrator" formula, but… Sir Anthony, what the hell are you doing. I sobbed with you sobbing in the final. This movie doesn’t deserve less than 8. Translated to English
It hurts to watch this movie, especially if you have ever dealt with people with dementia. Translated to English
Touches the soul. My grandfather was also not himself in the last years of his life. And the worst thing is when the mind is visible in the middle of madness ((( Translated to English
Already in the introductory scene, Sir Anthony won the Oscar with only shifty eyes. Further, the movie could not be made in principle. Translated to English
A much needed film to understand dementia through the eyes of both sides. I lived with a great-grandfather who had Alzheimer’s, I understand the side of the family very well. And this film opened the side of the patient to me. Thank you Anthony (both). Cast is just brilliant English Translated to English
I don’t know why I wanted to watch it, but I didn’t think it would be so piercing to the core. The film is very difficult, but I think everyone should watch it and see, as if through the eyes of Anthony himself, what is happening and what life is like for people of that age. Translated to English
A very accurate and empathic movie about dementia with the incredible Hopkins. Not giving him an Oscar would be a petty crime. The structure of the film, editing, music, timing – everything is perfect within the framework of a specific theme: a story about the feelings of a confused old man. Translated to English
A very heartfelt and exciting tragedy of the family and the protagonist personally, which almost everyone can understand and empathize with. Translated to English
I was expecting a boring sad drama, I don’t really like this. However, surprisingly, it was very interesting to watch. Although sad at the root, but a very lively film. The topic is presented not with tragic hopelessness and pessimism, but with warmth and even hope, the naturalness of the flow of life. Translated to English
The chamber drama with the brilliant Anthony Hopkins (Oscar 2021 for Best Actor) as a stubborn pensioner with progressive dementia turned out to be a sad and creepy sight. Adaptation of the play by Florian Zeller. Cinema is not for everyone. Translated to English
A magnificent picture that perfectly reflects the main problem of old age – detachment from reality, paranoid thoughts and relationships with others. Translated to English
The film is awesome! Hopkins is great! This is what a real nightmare looks like! This is how drama is presented! It would seem a simple story, due to the ingenious acting, it seems to me that it will evoke emotions even among the most insensitive. Translated to English
Scary drama. What stands out is her incredibly competent montage of the narrative, convincingly plunging the hero Hopkins into a terrible state. Even without these chips, the movie impresses with its soundtrack, intimacy and a grandfather who should be given an Oscar. Translated to English
A difficult drama that shows reality through the eyes of an elderly man with Alzheimer’s disease, as well as his daughter, who faces a difficult choice: to care for her father, or to live her own life. Translated to English
