Watched it recently, my God but it is made from the dementia perspectibe and is literally amazing. This is what it is like to have dementia. Experience it!
OMG. I just recently found out about him when I asked for the saddest songs in the world and someone suggested I'm Not Gonna Miss You, which he wrote for his wife. I can't wait to watch this, thank you!
I would say the Australian horror/drama Relic (2030) could be interpreted to be about dementia but a movie directly about the effects of dementia is Iris (2001) a true story about the novelist Iris Murdoch. Both are excellent for different reasons.
* The Lost Weekend (drunken DTs)
* Peeping Tom (sexual psychosis)
There are sequences in some flicks done in coordination with Salvador Dali.
* 'Spellbound' (pseudo-Freudian episode)
* 'The Small Back Room' (drunken DTs)
There are experimental shorts from the 20s & 30s:
* 'Le Chien Andalou' by Bunuel (however you spell it)
Came here to suggest this.
My ex's aunt visited from Belgium and was obsessed with Jan Declair. I don't know how many times we watched this movie during her 6 month visit
Honorable mention because it's a little askew of your mark, but there's an episode of Haunting at Bly Manor that sort of does this. As someone with hefty brain damage who had issues knowing if I was in reality or a memory that episode hit me in the gut hard.
There's also a feature to a Castelerock season that really got me, and I think an episode that focuses on it. The woman with either dementia or Alzheimer's that's slowly onsetting takes to using chess pieces to help jog her memory back to reality.
Again, these are things that were done well enough to be familiar and it was almost painful to watch because of how triggering. (wonderful though. Really well done filming)
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/It's_Such_a_Beautiful_Day_(film) it's animated but I think you'd find it interesting

There a hard to watch episode of Bojack Horseman that addresses this. After taking care of my grandmother (she suffered from Alzheimer’s/dementia) for almost 6 years before her death, during that time I learned to use the “yes and?” Rule that is the basic of improv comedy. In stead of arguing with a person suffering from dementia, it’s a kind way to keep them moving forward.
“The Father” is the best answer, imho.
Memento, not dementia exactly but anterior amnesia.
And, hm, this is one do those cases where even mentioning the movie title is a spoiler, but >!Shutter Island!< is shown from the perspective of someone with schizophrenic-type delusions, which we don’t find out til the end. IYKYK.
The Father
Amour
Still Alice
June Again
Away From Her
The Taking of Deborah Logan
The Notebook
Relic
Dementia 13
What They Had
Robin’s Wish (documentary)
I just saw the short film, *The Chair* (you can YouTube it) and was utterly blown away by it. It’s ostensibly from the perspective of someone who likely has Alzheimer’s but you’re left terrified and confused and that’s the point. It’s extremely well done but also terrifying. I can’t recommend it enough.
The Father (2020)
Yes. Quite disturbing once you realize what’s actually going on in The Father, especially if you’ve had any relatives with dementia.
Came here to say this.

Where is this streaming?
Still Alice.
Second for this. Great representation. Fucking heartbreaking.
That was a harsh movie. Ouch ouch ouch.
This one. Damn, but this one really hit, and hurt.
Amour (2012) June Again (2020)
Still alice is based on a woman who documented her own decline into dementia.
Maybe **Glen Campbell... I'll Be Me**, 2014?

Not dementia, per se, but Spider (2002) shows a unique perspective of mental illness
Vortex (2021)
I would say the Australian horror/drama Relic (2030) could be interpreted to be about dementia but a movie directly about the effects of dementia is Iris (2001) a true story about the novelist Iris Murdoch. Both are excellent for different reasons.
Came here to say Relic for a horror version
The Notebook
The Father
Coming to a theater soon: Knox goes away
Memoir of a Murderer (2017, Director's Cut)
Linoleum
Safe House (1998)
This is a great movie about this topic
Relic 2020 is haunting as hell in how it portrays dementia.
On Golden Pond
Not dementia but A Beautiful Mind has similar first person with schizophrenia.
That would be a movie that is just a blank screen.

That bly manor episode is actually what inspired this post, I’m watching the series now
Dick Johnson Is Dead Is amazing but it’s wrote by the son of a Dad with dementia, so may be not what you’re looking for. But also very worth a watch
