Frequently asked questions

What is The Father about? Toggle content

The Father is a poignant and thought-provoking film that explores the themes of aging, memory loss, and the complexities of family relationships. The movie follows the story of Anthony, an 81-year-old man who is struggling to come to terms with his own mortality and the loss of his independence. Despite his daughter Anne's efforts to help him, Anthony resists any form of assistance, preferring to rely on his own strength and wit. As Anthony's condition worsens, he begins to question his own mind and reality, causing tension between himself and Anne. The arrival of a mysterious man named Paul, who claims to be Anne's husband, only adds to the confusion. The film raises important questions about identity, perception, and the nature of truth itself. The Father features an impressive cast lineup featuring Anthony Hopkins as Anthony and Olivia Colman as Anne. Rufus Sewell plays Paul while Imogen Poots has been cast as Laura - a new caregiver hired by Anne for her father's care following rejections from multiple previous caregivers due to her father's behavior towards them; Mark Gatiss plays The Man (Bill) while Ayesha Dharker has been cast in Dr Sarai's role in the movie!
