A Timely, Gripping Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (5 October 2019)

Possibly the most powerful film of the year so far, Joaquin Phoenix takes the audience down a dark tale full of relevant themes and boldly holds a mirror up to society, no matter how disquieted we feel, no matter how much we want to deny it, and no matter how much we want to turn away. Disturbingly bleak, yes. Horrifyingly unpalatable, yes. But perhaps what's most terrifying is the fact that it's the truth.
