Smile, though your heart is breaking

Rating: 10/10 (11 October 2019)

It was like watching a slow burning fuse heading towards the inevitable explosion!
Action movie this is not. This is a superbly crafted look into a descent into madness. It can make you think 'there by the grace of God go I ' on occasion. Any film that can do that is a WIN!
It had everything I wanted. It was adult themed, disturbing, tragic and captivating from the start. The ending was perfect; chose what you want (multiple choice :) ).
People are talking about Phoenix getting an Oscar for this. Frankly the performance is worth far more than that and doesn't need the recognition of that 'institution'. WE know how wonderful it was :)!
Watch the film, think about it and then spend the next few hours going over it with your mates! What a film
