Curmudgeonly 81-year-old Anthony lives ostensibly alone in his London flat, visited by his daughter Anne, and fighting off the carers she tries to impose upon him. But all is not as it seems as we enter the fragmented consciousness of a man in the grip of dementia in which familiar people and places shape-shift and merge into one another. With an adept screenplay, co-written by Christopher Hampton, and a magnificent performance by Hopkins that veers between righteous outrage and extreme vulnerability, this is a moving but unflinching take on ageing and dementia, poised for numerous award nominations.

“A brutal, trippy portrait of what it must feel like to lose your grip on reality boasts an Oscar-worthy performance.”
