An impressive performance by Hopkins and subject matter that, frankly, isn't entertaining in the least but still very fascinating to watch. Things like Alzheimer's and dementia are difficult to deal with, and not typically the stuff of Hollywood unless it is poked fun at or quickly glossed over. This film dives deeply, and quite effectively, into that world. And for those who might suggest the plot line is difficult to follow at times; that is the point. Even you are meant to experience a bit of the confusion and disorientation that Hopkins feels. It was sad to watch but it was powerful to witness.

Dives into the part of life most don't want to go to. Anthony Hopkins was good at times but the plotline was all over the grid making it hard to follow.

In a word: devastating.

Sir Anthony Hopkins' performance is top notch as one would expect. Coleman has moments--relying on her expressions. She plays the long-suffering daughter of a man overcome by Altzheimer's, although I must say that point is never explicitly made. However, if you're looking for a cohesive storyline, this is not it. I have to assume it is portrayed from the fragmented mind of an Altzheimer's patient; there is no cohesive timeline. Various characters pop in and out. I couldn't quite figure out the two husbands, or only Sewell's character, as the other was introduced as her first husband. The final scene is the most heartbreaking I’ve ever seen in a film--Hopkins' is incredible here, which won him Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role. It was nominated for Best Motion Picture of the year. As for the film as a whole, I don't plan to ever watch it again, but I am glad I sat through it to its conclusion.
