The Father the first film directed by Florian Zeller, has a good reputation. According to the census made on the IMDb website, this film has received 133 nominations, 26 of which have resulted in awards. Among the awards received, we particularly note the Oscar for Best Actor in a Leading Role for Anthony Hopkins and Best Adaptation for the director and his co-writer Christopher Hampton. These two Oscars are the exact reflection of the two BAFTA Awards obtained two weeks earlier. This film's track record among the festivals and other award ceremonies of the 7th art is extensive. It is all the more impressive that it celebrates the first film direction of a man of the theater. And, as there is never smoke without fire, it is perhaps given to us to see through The father the birth of a filmmaker with a promising future.

Our critic’s notebook: all the news of the films, our critical opinions, our moods, …
Throughout the year, we try to transmit our passion for cinema to you, through this critical notebook. You won’t find all the movies, only the ones we want to talk about!
We classify the films according to 3 levels of appreciation:
We highly recommend:
These are films that we liked a lot. They are in our eyes at least good. We find there our favorites and of course the masterpieces (see also on this subject our cult films).
We recommend:
You will find there films that we liked a little, and that we want to support despite their small defects.
We don’t recommend:
In this category, you’ll find films that didn’t interest us, or that we frankly disliked. These are our disappointments. At Mag Cinéma, we want to respect the authors, and the work done. So we try not to use this appreciation so much, we prefer in general not to make a criticism when a film appears to us without interest, or contrary to our tastes. But sometimes, we have our blows of gueule, and have a voice different from what you can read elsewhere in the press!
