There is more than enough stuff to watch this at least once, so go check it out if you want!

Rating: 7/10 (10 October 2019)

I thought that the movie was shot really well, the colours and the digital look really made it gritty and it fits the story it's telling. There are some aspects of the story that I liked but there is a lot of things untouched, and a lot of just dumb stuff.
Phoenix really deserves an Oscar Nomination at the very least, but for me the whole character of the Joker is still better in the Dark Knight than this. Phoenix fits for this one. Ledger was fitting for that one.
Directing-wise there was a lot of creative shots and sequences but overall it didn't blow me away, but the score was so unsettling and well used that I was pleasantly surprised.
The sound editing was also really slick too.
Every other main performance was good too.
It's really well paced.
But some parts are really predictable and a lot of things have no shock value at all.
My biggest issues are the story and the overall themes and messages of the movie.
I don't wanna go in-depth with the plot because I could do it all night long, but the themes and messages are either really sick, or just non-existant. I guess nihilism and mental illnes both play an important part but I can't find any actual human thing other than those.
Maybe a bit about popularity and meaning of people and money.
but....
SPOILER
The whole thing with the Wayne Family, especially the end scene was soo forced. It really didn't have to be there and it made me think about the businessmen rather than the actual characters.
