Essential viewing

Rating: 10/10 (22 October 2019)

Joaquin Phoenix doesn't put a clown shoe shod foot wrong in this exceptional film. The tension builds & builds to reach a crescendo well worth waiting for. Essential viewing not only for the story, the performance, the soundtrack & how it is shot, but for the artistic depiction of a man with a mental health issue who needs the right care & support but doesn't receive it. It should show some people that not everyone sees the world the same way & that those people shouldn't be sidelined for it. Possibly one of the best films ever made. 10 stars at least.
