Olivia Colman’s best movie is on TV tonight

As a gamer who has lived through countless sleepless nights conquering virtual worlds and battling digital demons, I can tell you that watching “The Father” is no less of an emotional rollercoaster. Olivia Colman’s performance is as captivating as ever, and Anthony Hopkins delivers a moving portrayal that left me in tears – not something I usually associate with video games!

In the latest series, “Paddington in Peru,” Olivia Colman once again captivates audiences with her performance as a singing nun. However, it’s important to note that just a few years ago, in 2021, she moved us all deeply by making us shed tears.

Based on the title play, “The Father” portrays Colman as Anne, a character who strives to secure assistance for her father (Anthony Hopkins), who is struggling with dementia, before she relocates to Paris. However, he consistently rejects any caregiver that she proposes.

As a dedicated admirer, I must confess that Colman’s latest film has left me both emotionally drained and awestruck. Despite its challenging nature, it has earned an impressive 98% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, making it her most critically acclaimed work to date. Yet, my affection for her voice role as the malevolent AI in “The Mitchells vs The Machines” remains undiminished.

Tonight, or very early Sunday morning, you can catch the movie “The Father” on Channel 4, airing at 12:55 am.

If it’s past the time for watching a heart-wrenching movie, but don’t worry, “The Father” will likely become accessible for free viewing on Channel 4’s streaming platform soon following its airing tonight.

In case you’re eager to watch it sooner, you have the option to either purchase or rent “The Father” instantly on platforms like Prime Video and various digital retailers.

In a surprising turn of events, Chadwick Boseman was not awarded the Best Actor Oscar in 2021, instead it went to Anthony Hopkins. Despite being the favorite to win, Boseman lost out to Hopkins.

In an interview with Digital Spy during the 2021 release of The Father, Colman commended her co-star for making her acting role a breeze.

When the focus of the camera is primarily on Tony, I’m positioned beside the camera, expressing my awe with a simple “Wow”. It was truly incredible, as I later remembered.

She muses about her encounters with him, admitting she was both anxious and thrilled initially, but soon discovered he was an incredibly kind, giving individual. After just a few minutes, any nervousness melted away, leaving them to delight in their time together.

Tonight, I’ll be tuning in at midnight on Channel 4 to catch The Father. It should be streaming not long after it airs. Can’t wait!
