* NeverTrustATrailer: Some of the films [[https://www.theguardian.com/film/2021/may/14/the-father-posters promotional material]] make it look like a straightforward dramedy about a heartwarming relationship between Anthony and Anne.

* AdultFear: Watching your parent's mind degrade to where they can no longer recognize you or their surroundings as they become harder to deal with is about as real-life scary as you can get. [[spoiler:Anne's heartbreaking decision in the end to put him in a facility when she was initially against it is a terrifying choice countless people have to make every day.]] Not to mention that it's even scarier from Anthony's perspective, and he can't even know what's going on because his own mind is betraying him.
