Are you uncomfortable? Good.

Rating: 9/10 (16 January 2020)

Joaquin Phoenix is committed. There is not another performance this year that even comes close to what he did here. Such a fresh, though dark, take on a story that's been told a million times. In the age of serial killers and social media manipulation this film is both timely and prophetic. The main complaint from people was that is was not a superhero movie. That there aren't any special effects or fights with his traditional enemies. This is an origin story. There is no reason for all of that. This movie is epic.
