I just cannot criticize this movie in any way.

Rating: 9/10 (18 October 2019)

I had to create an account to write a review because I never write reviews but this movie just forced me to.
The character development, the story, the acting, bigger picture. All put in beautifully that any viewer can follow and understand. Joaquin puts on a performance of the century. You can feel all character's emotions in this movie and suddenly forget you are watching a categorized "villain". This is way more than a superhero flick. This a deep psychological fictional tale of how someone or anyone can radically transform because of their circumstances and how society treats them.
Don't expect so much action. The action is in the character. No useless unnecessary scenes. No CGI. No childish cliche flicks and stunts. This is as raw and real as it gets and has an epic ending.
If Joaquin Phoenix doesn't get an Oscar, then the Oscars are rigged. I know there are more movies to come but no move will revolve around a single character transforming and changing in this way.
Screw the critics...they judge on their own. You are part of the overwhelming majority of the population. Watch it with a clear and sober head and you will not be disappointed.
I didn't give it a 10 because that's just me. I don't believe in perfection. I'm just giving it a 9 in case I see something better in the future but it's a 10 in my at the moment.
