The Father Ratings & Reviews
- Nino ZlatevSeptember 5, 2025An incredibly well made movie, which manages to depict a terrible affliction in a creative way. Truly scary but also touching due to how real it all feels. It moved my wife to tears. I recommend this movie.
- mickerdooDecember 14, 2025Dizzyingly tragic. The very definition of an unreliable narrator. Cleverly edited and has some turns that hit you like a train in the sads.
- JesseAugust 16, 2025Innocence and loss, frustration and confidence, confusion and performance. People are complicated at all ages, and a worn mind can really shatter the ego. Makes for a difficult movie to watch, both literally and figuratively, but evocative enough to appreciate once at least.
- Diable HautainMarch 4, 2026Disturbingly horrifying, yet deeply empathetic. A masterfully executed portrait of an old man adrift in the dreamy reality of dementia, seen from his perspective — Reminiscent of The Lost Weekend (1945).
