Joaquin Phoenix

Rating: 10/10 (11 January 2014)

Joaquin Phoenix proves, again, he deserves the Oscar. This man becomes the character he portrays, par excellence. He can be a thug, "We Own The Night", a caring parent, "Reservation Road", a strong leader "Gladiator", "Clay Pigeons", "Ladder 49", a darn good singer, "Walk the Line", a enviable boyfriend, "2 Lovers","Her", a character from another time, "Quills", a excellent side-kick, "Signs", "Hotel Rwanda", a riveting rebel, "To Die For", and on and on. "Her" requires Joaquin to be in every scene, and he doesn't disappoint wearing every emotion, perfectly. Even his few dance moves are right-on. His co-star, Amy Adams, was wise to be involved in this movie. On TV, she said that Joaquin is super-sensitive, and it certainly works for him.
