World class acting. A must see.

Rating: 9/10 (13 October 2019)

I waited to see this post the initial first weekend hype but this film really did live up to it. It's a 9/10 for the film overall. The dark subject matter won't make any 'feel good' lists however Phoenix's title role is quite simply one of the greatest acting performances of all time. It's also a perfect origin story. Well thought through and brings a real sense of mania to the viewer. Moreover, this is just the beginning for this character and interesting to see how studio bosses will react to its undoubted incoming success. Go see.
