Ok movie, could do without the Joker "sauce"

Rating: 1/10 (11 November 2019)

Whilst the acting is superb, this movie could do without the whole Joker "sauce" being poured on the story.
It revolves about a man gliding off into madness in a society that does not care about providing sufficient help for his problems. As his medications and little therapy he got were taken away due to budget cuts, he goes further and further into the Abyss of his madness. Phoenix does a wonderful job portraying the protagonist!
Unfortunately this movie would have so been much better without the Joker/Batman elements. It is difficult to believe that this weak man we see in this movie turns out to be the crime kingpin that we love and fear. As such it did not meet up to my expectations.
