Anthony Hopkins easily the greatest actor of our times in his gut wrenching portrayal of a man suffering from Alzheimer's. Seamlessly expressing ranges of humanity from Hannibal the monster in The Silence of the Lambs to his latest nominated role in The Father as he slowly slides into the horror of this father as he loses his mind witnessed primarily through his caregiving daughter portrayed by the brilliant Olivia Colman. The sliding in and out of his past and present flows beautifully through the steady direction of writer/director Florian Zeller an acclaimed playwrite from France, breaks your heart, terrorizes you as you travel through his life's trauma giving way to his rage as it seethes through every expression from a long life survived as he's losing his grip on reality. Nominated for 4 Golden Globes.

This is a powerful and important story to be told and it's done very well. Connecting so many points over decades of grooming from early years of Putin's life to his rise and what makes a perfect target for the Russians fool to play. Trump was on course for being turned. I especially enjoyed the depths of Hillary's understanding of Putin and seeing how he thinks. She's smart, strong and brave. She would have been a great president. I bought this movie in iTunes after I rented it to see. I've watched it since. And it's wonderful to see McCain at work.
