The Father

This is a movie that will stick with you for days after. Anthony Hopkins plays an octogenarian who is dealing with dementia. The movie is adapted from the play, and directed by the playwright. This will win several awards, IMO. Anthony Hopkins was spectacular as 'Anthony', and the director helped us to really see dementia from the viewpoint of the victim.
Not a long movie, only an hour and a half. Well worth your time.

I got to see it because a relative is part of the Academy and has the screener. Sony must be shooting for the 2020 awards, after showing it at Sundance.
