Exceeded my expectations and then some!

Rating: 10/10 (3 October 2019)

I truly was impressed by this film. The performance of not just Joaquin Phoenix, but the entire ensemble is something to be revered. Todd Phillips did a magnificent job directing and you could see the care that was put into crafting every shot of this film. Few films these days are as thought provoking as this one and I spent a good hour outside the cinema discussing it with my friends.
I disagree that this film glorifies violence. The way it depicts violence is incredibly harrowing and I actually found myself feeling a wee bit ill at the result of some of Arthur's actions. If anything, it highlights the importance of mental health care and the potential implications of someone like Arthur being ignored and abused by the system.
