25 Most Exciting Movies Still To Come In 2020

6. The Father

The directorial debut of acclaimed playwright Florian Zeller, The Father is a moving drama based on his play Le Pere.

The film follows the later life on the eponymous patriarch as he refuses the assistance of his daughter whilst advancing dementia clouds his memory and understanding. Yes, this may sound like grim territory, but bear in mind said father is played by none other than Hannibal Lecter himself Anthony Hopkins whilst his daughter's role goes to The Favourite's queen/ everyone's favourite onscreen queen Olivia Colman.

(With apologies to Claire Foy).

As a result, this drama will most likely be an Oscar contender as the two dramatic heavyweights carry much of the action in the dialogue between them, and it should be a thrill to see two generations of talented thespians play off one another onscreen.
