Good movie about mental illness, not the Joker

Rating: 4/10 (11 November 2019)

If you're looking for a movie that portrays the sad isolation some people can experience with mental illness, this is it. It's a good portrayal of someone struggling to hold a job, relationships, and their hold on reality. Phoenix's acting was wonderful in that regard. But the plot was predictable, had plot holes, and in all, this movie was not about the criminal mastermind that continuously gives Batman a run for his money. No evil genius here. Just a random man with clown makeup. Seems more like they slapped "Joker" on it to make it a better sell.
