Really? This is what all the fuss is about....

Rating: 6/10 (10 November 2019)

Sorry but it's not that great a movie. There, I said it. I was so looking forward to this.
"It angers, it may incite incels, white man bad, Joaquin Phoenix deserves an oscar, it's Taxi Driver for our generation..." lots of left/right politic baiting which is right up my street...yet....
Sorry but no. It's not a bad movie by any measure and Phoenix is good but it's not groundbreaking and certainly doesn't deserve an Oscar. I believed the hype about how good this was and it didn't live up to my expectation. Pretty much zero plot, too long and with a boring mid section. Like I said, Phoenix is a great actor and this is a one man show throughout and he is good but it's just aimless. It won't be getting a rewatch from me.
