The Father Ratings & Reviews
Thrillist
Esther Zuckerman
The way Zeller and his production designer Peter Francis orchestrate these changes are almost imperceptible, but nevertheless disorienting and utterly crucial to the narrative.
The Jewish Chronicle
Linda Marric
The Father could well be the first film to truly convey what it must feel like to be falling into the grips of dementia and is as heartbreaking as it is brilliantly innovative in a narrative sense.
The Ringer
Adam Nayman
In Florian Zeller's elegiac The Father, Hopkins gives one of the strongest performances in his storied career, playing a character grappling with his own mortality...
Baltimore Magazine
Max Weiss
[The Father] leans too strongly into the horror tropes, to the point where it seems the film is less about truly understanding the experience of a dementia patient and more about messing with the audience.
Crooked Marquee
Kimber Myers
The Father is a stunning reminder of the power of the medium and how it - and even cinema's most familiar faces - can still surprise.
TIME Magazine
Stephanie Zacharek
The Father is a polished piece of work but an unsparing one, offering no false assurances.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
"The Father" is ruthless, as it should be, and its reduction of Anthony is complete.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
Anthony Hopkins at the peak of his powers...
Detroit News
Adam Graham
"The Father" is in a class of its own. It's a triumph.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Chris Hewitt
You feel like you've been through something with "The Father," that it's honest and that it understands how these characters - and perhaps the rest of us - might behave.
New York Post
Johnny Oleksinski
In a year full of titanic male performances, Anthony Hopkins ranks high for his seismic turn in "The Father."
Austin Chronicle
Matthew Monagle
It is a credit to the performance that we are never entirely sure how much Anthony understands at any given moment. The line between righteous indignation and self-preservation has been completely blurred.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
One of the best films of the year.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
"The Father" provides sensitive, superbly compassionate insight into many things, including the fragility of dignity, the ghost prints left by grief and love, and the abiding mysteries of consciousness itself.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Tim Cogshell
It's as if we are in a horror movie... The way it's scored, lit, and the way the camera moves -- we feel like we're not sure and what is not.
Tribune News Service
Katie Walsh
This is the genius of Zeller's labyrinthine filmmaking: in placing the audience in this vulnerable, questioning position, through sound design, camera movement and perspective, we empathize deeply with Anthony's plight.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
Only a man of his dedication to meticulously observed and fearlessly vulnerable performances could show us Anthony's valiant efforts to stay himself, to stay in charge.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
By design, it's tough to watch at times. Hopkins' performance makes it impossible not to.
Chicago Reader
Josh Flanders
Florian Zeller's drama is a brilliant exploration of dementia, pain, and vulnerability.
Associated Press
Jake Coyle
To see Hopkins play all these ever-fluctuating turns of mood is riveting... Yet "The Father" often feels like a clinical puzzle to work out.
