Florian Zeller's film of The Father (based on his play) is a very smart portrait of dementia. It's also very clever. It's almost too clever, but at the center of this film is Anthony Hopkins, who gives such an extraordinarily sensitive and beautiful performance, that even amid the cleverness of Zeller's script and the genius production design, the deep humanity of the character comes through. It's a great film.
