Monica isn’t so sure about their new life, as little David has a heart murmur and they live far away from a hospital. The parents work as chicken sexers, while Jacob begins farming on a new plot of land. Minari (2020) A24 does not disappoint with writer-director Lee Isaac Chung’s lovely “Minari.” An intimately scaled story about the American Dream, the film follows the Korean-American Yi family-father Jacob (Steven Yeun), mother Monica (Yeri Han), daughter Anne (Noel Kate Cho), and son David (Alan Kim)-as they move from California to Arkansas in a parked trailer home for a new start in the 1980s. Sony Pictures Classics, 97 min., rated PG-13. It might make a traumatic double feature with Natalie Erika James’ “Relic,” but “The Father” so closely and uncomfortably captures the reality of both sides of caring for a parent who is deteriorating. This is based on the French play by director Zeller (whose work was adapted for the screen by Christopher Hampton), but as a film, it is brilliantly edited and never feels more stifling than it needs to be. Tony can be charming, but his words can be hurtful, too, as he becomes more confused and disoriented as to who is who and what is what. Hopkins shares the screen with not only Olivia Colman, as Tony’s daughter Ann, but also Olivia Williams as a possible version of Ann, Imogen Poots as a helper, and Mark Gatiss and Rufus Sewell as versions of Ann’s husband. Outside of Hannibal Lecter, Anthony Hopkins gives the most accomplished performance of his long, esteemed career as Tony, a man living in his London flat and living with dementia. The Father (2020) Florian Zeller’s “The Father” is one of the scariest and most devastating films to deal with the grueling ravages of age.
