Sir Anthony Hopkins has had an incredible career,Silence of the Lambs, Howard’s End,andTransformers: The Last Knight.Ok let’s forget about that last one, but still, the man is one of the greatest actors of the cinema age so when I say thatThe Fatherfeatures a career-best performance, that’s worth taking note of.

A heartbreaking film that was nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars (plus netted Hopkins his second gong) and currently sits on a massive 98% Rotten Tomatoes score,The Fatheris leavingNetflixon July 16th.

The story follows Hopkins' Anthony as an elderly man struggling with Dementia. Having blown what seems like his last chance at independence after seeing off another carer, his daughter (Olivia Colman, herself an Oscar winner too) faces the possibility of having to send him to a care home.

Hopkins and Colman may dominate the screen time (which makes sense, considering this film is based on a play) and are incredible to behold. Lesser actors with the same source material might struggle to make it work, but we don’t need to worry about that. The supporting cast is also stellar with Rufus Sewell, Mark Gatiss, Imogen Poots and Olivia Williams all in fine form.

This isn’t a movie to munch popcorn to, but if you can take it and can handle a good cry, thenThe Fatheris a must-watch. Catch it on one of thebest streaming serviceswhile you can.
