Phoenix masterclass

Rating: 10/10 (7 October 2019)

This movie was everything I expected and more the clever back and forth in to the mind of a clinically unstable man making you feel almost empathetic to his plight and fantastic supporting roles by beets and de Niro make this film a joy to watch
Don't expect a suicide squad type film from this, this is what dc should have been doing for years with the batman franchise the gritty darkness really brings Gotham to life and humanises thomas Wayne in a way all past films have failed to do so.
If Phoenix does not get an Oscar for this film it would be a travesty he was simply faultless in the whole film, he has you truly believing that he is mentally disturbed and also helps you understand why without being too blunt about it his performance was not just fantastic but also fantastically clever if this film doesn't bring light to the plight of the mentally ill in modern society then I truly don't know what will.
This film will go down in history as a masterpiece that is not in any doubt as will Phoenix for his portrayal or Arthur fleck in this eye opening masterpiece
