Father, The

[Available March 12 in theaters and on various VOD platforms.] While a stubborn, angry, curmudgeonly, 80-year-old Englishman (Sir Anthony Hopkins) struggles with Alzheimer's disease in London and losing his grip on reality in Florian Zeller's compelling, critically acclaimed, poignant, moving, well-acted, realistic, superbly written, down-to-Earth, star-studded (Rufus Sewell, Olivia Williams, and Mark Gatiss), 97-minute film adapted from Florian Zeller's 2012 award-winning play Le Père reminiscent of Away from Her and Amour, the confused audience also struggles to determine what is real as characters and sets become interchangeable and his frustrated daughter (Olivia Colman) searches for a compassionate, tenacious caregiver (Imogen Poots) to help relieve her caretaking burden.
