Diary of a Generation 

The film seems like an extreme interpretation of the conspiracy theorists that exist in real life. And then, there’s the twist.

Gritty and bleak are the best words to describe this film. There’s nothing happy about it.

The original series is now on Netflix, you should definitely give it a watch. And if you’ve already seen it, watch it again.

This is a film that is going to leave some people bored, and some people thrilled.

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.

By having two of its most beloved characters go to space in a Pontiac Fiero attached to a rocket, among other antics, F9: The Fast Saga overwhelmingly achieves the task of out-crazy-ing its predecessors.
