Brilliant, mind-bending and heartbreaking screenplay, amazing performance by everyone but Hopkins especially. Be prepared to cry.
A depiction so realistic and gripping that it's painful to watch. Tragic, relevant, and brilliantly done. Hopkins is amazing as always.
A very realistic view into this awful illness
I love how the audience is left as confused as our main character. This can make for a frustrating watch at times. Hopkins is Oscar-worthy.
I have never cried from a film but Dimentia always almost makes me cry.
Definitely good but very disorienting probably to make you sympathize with the condition.
An incredible stage-to-screen adaptation that innovated its theatricality with light/framing beautifully. This one hurt both head and heart.
Anthony Hopkins gives the best performance in recent memory. The script and editing incredible visualize a man with dementia.
Incredible acting. I sobbed my heart out and loved every minute
A masterpiece about an old man with dementia. Fuck, Anthony Hopkins here reminded me SO MUCH of my grandpa. He absolutely deserved the Oscar
