Might be the best movie of 2020.
The way dementia is portrayed and puts you in the shoes of the person suffering from it, lifted by a memorable soundtrack and immersive performances - it really shows how powerful of a medium films can be. My feelings echo what others are saying about Anthony Hopkins' performance, and how he overshadowed everyone else. The writing and direction is no joke - making the audience connect emotionally with a confused character to a level where you feel like you're the one suffering when he does - is a feat in itself.
I highly recommend it, because it brings in a sense of sympathy and patience in high doses for the people suffering from dementia, something the people who made this movie were aiming for.
