Excellent

Rating: 9/10 (8 October 2019)

This is a great, honest film about mental illness and societal isolation. Brilliant cinematography and a beautiful performance by Joaquin Phoenix. This comic-inspired film is unlike any other, which I believe explains some of the disdain towards it. Although it is an "origin story", it doesn't feel like one, mostly because it feels incredibly real. The violence, the character development, the pace; it's all so powerful. Check it out.
