Joaquin Phoenix carries this, otherwise bland, film

Rating: 6/10 (21 December 2019)

Phoenix is amazing, deserves any and every award for acting. The writing and plot are boring and leave something to be desired. Clearly the writers wanted something grounded in reality and that meant there couldn't be such an immediate jump to insanity, but it also meant that the viewer has to slog through a long checklist of items a normal man must go through to descend into madness, and many of those aren't entertaining.
