If The Father hit the spot, these will too

The same two preoccupations: alzheimer's disease, and memory loss

Common ground: memory loss
The difference: Leans harder into romance than The Father does

Both land stillness and melancholy at once
The difference: Not nearly as cerebral as The Father

Both lean on ideas more than on drama
The difference: Reviewed a good deal more coolly

Drama built on stillness, twice over

The same preoccupation in both: loss of sense of reality
The difference: Sits closer to thriller than The Father does


One thread runs through both: based on play or musical

A streak of stillness through both
The difference: 22 years apart, and the 1990s show



Both are drama through and through
In the mood for more contemplative?
