Just saw "The Father"

The acting is fabulous and it is well directed, but the whole movie is relentlessly depressing. I had to have my grandmother committed when I was young, and all those terrible memories came flooding back.

Viggo did a great job with this, even the music. It was well done all around but so very sad.

Sorry, I think I was thinking of the wrong movie. Our Internet is off and on today so I cannot check, I can barely get on here.

I got back on for a few minutes. The movie I was thinking about was Falling. Issues are similar I think. Sorry, we are really iffy on our Internet lately. I should just be quiet and read until or if we get our Internet back.
