Carpool Karaoke: When Corden Met McCartney Live from Liverpool (2018)

The film basically says she was a lost cause from the start. We don't get a sense of who Marilyn was.

The repeated actions, the blood on the petals, the rustling under the floor…An ambient short horror film takes us into another realm.

While this film thinks that it is diagnosing the cause, it is merely diagnosing a symptom instead.

With The Father, writer-director Florian Zeller- who wrote and developed the play upon which the film is based- pulls no punches as he confidently makes every effort to put the audience in the mind of someone whose grip on reality has all but vanished. It’s a dazzling testament to Zeller’s abilities as a director as he makes his first transition from stage to film appear as if he’s been working behind a camera his entire career. The dialogue he fashions with co-writer Christopher Hampton, along with the work of production designers Peter Francis and Cathy Featherstone, collectively makes the downward spiral of dementia startlingly tangible, doing so in a way that can be comprehended by everyone except the person it directly affects.
