February Picks: The Movies and TV You Can't Miss33 of 35
The Father | Premieres in Theaters on Friday, Feb. 26
Plot: A man refuses all assistance from his daughter as he ages. As he tries to make sense of his changing circumstances, he begins to doubt his loved ones, his own mind and even the fabric of his reality.
Our Take: Florian Zeller directs the onscreen adaptation of his successful 2012 play, starring Anthony Hopkins, Olivia Colman, and Imogen Poots. Illustrating the fear and pain that comes with deterioration due to dementia, I’m betting this one will lead to some uncontrollable sobs, but I'm looking forward to Hopkins’ performance, which has earned him a Best Actor nomination for the upcoming Golden Globes. — Hannah
