Absolutely gripping

Rating: 10/10 (13 October 2019)

I had concerns it had the potential to be slow and/or ultra violent, however this movie is neither. It's a masterpiece in character study filled with this beautifully ironic comedy - the kind of comedy that occurs when you are trying so hard and life just smacks you in the face in the worst of ways. It's so much more than just the "making of a killer", but more so the perfect storm of mental illness and a failing mental health system, combined with a series of traumatic events, father issues, failure of professional success (thusly the fear that he will always be a failure), and the trials of near daily bullying, simply as a result of being eccentric.
There is violence, but I've witnessed 80/90's action movies that make this pale in comparison.
You will be glued to the screen.. not a single person got up to go to the restroom or get a refill....well, this maybe an exaggeration as I was so focused on the movie that it was as if I was transported to a time when movies were legit.
Please see this movie.
