THE FATHER
Olivia Colman as Anne and Sir Anthony Hopkins as Anthony in The Father (Lionsgate Films/Sean Gleason)
The mind plays tricks on us and the discombobulated title character in Florian Zeller’s classy adaptation of his award-winning stage play, co-written for the screen by Christopher Hampton.
Set in the handsomely furnished London apartment of an octogenarian patriarch (Sir Anthony Hopkins), The Father slowly picks at the seams of his supposed reality and questions the reliability of his muddied memory as Olivia Colman and Olivia Williams both claim to be his concerned daughter.
Ingenious production design ramps up the unease as Sir Anthony delivers an acting masterclass and poses the most serious threat – as the Baftas confirmed – to Chadwick Boseman’s posthumous coronation.
