The Father confuses "subtle" with "the cast forgot to act".

If whispered monologues were currency, The Father would settle the national debt.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in The Father?
Look, I wanted to love The Father. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.

The cinematography in The Father is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Rewatched The Father last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

Hot Take: The Father's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Director clearly thought The Father was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in The Father?
Honestly, The Father would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.
