    9.0/10 This kind of narrative, which uses editing to completely reconstruct time and space, slowly drags people into despair, which is too painful and real for most viewers who have experienced it. For an old man who has lost his memory, he is more like being trapped in a strange cycle of time, while for a daughter, the father is forever trapped in memory. The great Hopkins gave the most authentic and great performance of the...

    It's so brain-burning, maybe this is exactly what the director wants the audience to experience. The confused characters and the disordered time and space form a disordered memory. My father is trapped in time and can't get out. By my side, I recognize you as someone...

    The first reaction is that after Brexit, the British did not go to work in France. Played a little bit of structural tricks, and the virtual and the real. The title could just be "Father," and I don't think he's just stuck in time. There are similarities with "My Sister", there is disgust and family affection, and finally the true confession. European and American society is relatively simple, and family relationships are simple. It’s good to focus on depicting emotions after explaining them...

    In the end, my father said that I had worn a watch on this trip. I was an aging driver of life. I used to cruise in the corridor of his apartment. When I went back to my room and came out again, the time would change. He didn't know, he was confused, he Just to confirm the time, he has two watches, one in his hand, and one in his heart, and he also has to confirm his confirmation. The lighting of this movie is very particular, almost the light of the father's "subjective", dim and dark, and the...

    Expressing the Alzheimer's that we often talk about through a grotesque, thrilling, suspenseful, and deranged narrative technique is the "further" pursued by the creator, which is really surprising. It is well deserved to be recognized by so many...

    "The Father"--Calming And Warming Time

    The film itself is relatively calm, with basically no plot, just from the first perspective of an Alzheimer's patient to tell the chaotic fragments of his memory and the confusion and pain he feels because of it. The actor's acting is really good.

    At the end of the film, the old man cried on the...
