The father
A masterclass in acting from Sit Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Colman in this heartbreaking film based on the director Florian Zeller’s play, and whose screenplay he co-wrote. Incredibly sensitive to the plight of an elderly man losing his memory, make sure you have a box of tissues handy.

The lost daughter
Another Olivia Colman because, well she just bloody marvellous. Written and directed by Maggie Gyllenhaal this is definitely one for any mother who has, at any time, felt stuck and unrewarded. While the story meanders and never really the beginning, middle and end journey it is captivating and leaves you feeling a sense of unease throughout. Colman (as Leda Caruso) could be in with a shout at the Oscars as could Jessie Buckley, who plays the young Leda, who has come a very long way from the BBC talent show, I’d Do Anything.
