Our take on The Father

Florian Zeller's 2020 drama places us inside the disintegrating mind of an elderly man losing his grip on time, place and the people around him. Its shifting rooms and recast faces make dementia terrifyingly subjective, anchored by a devastating central performance. If its formal daring and emotional truth moved you, seek out intimate dramas about ageing, memory and the families caught in its undertow.
