The Father

 An exercise in tension as we see through Hopkins unreliable narrator eyes the events of his mental decline, as people around him become more uncertain and his hold on reality becomes increasingly tenuous - how this effects his daughter and others around him. It does bear its theatrical origins a little with some slightly overly-rich phrasing in dialogue, but the performances of Hopkins and Colman absolutely hold it together.
