Yet help is also becoming a necessity for Anne; she can&#8217;t make daily visits anymore and Anthony&#8217;s grip on reality is unraveling. As we experience the ebb and flow of his memory, how much of his own identity and past can Anthony cling to? How does Anne cope as she grieves the loss of her father, while he still lives and breathes before her?\u00a0The\u00a0Father\u00a0warmly embraces real life, through loving reflection upon the vibrant human condition; heart-breaking and uncompromisingly poignant &#8212; a movie that nestles in the truth of our own lives.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B08Z8FWGWT\/ref=pv_ag_gcf?cmp=rt_where_to_watch&amp;tag=rottetomao-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WATCH NOW<\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE FATHER |\u00a02021 &#8211; 97&#8242; &#8211; Drama &#8211; UK-France co-production.
