Possibly the worst film I've ever paid to watch

Rating: 1/10 (6 October 2019)

This film has no plot. Like, at all. It just bumbles through its runtime to the point where you feel relieved when it's finally over and you can go home. It tried to present itself as a clever critique on modern society and the rise of extreme politics, but can't even do that properly. One scene everyone is pissed at the rich for treating them badly, but the next scene, these same people are being presented as bad people because they protest how they're treated. It also has scenes where the lead character imagines enjoying himself with another character that are all implied to have actually happened, and when you find they haven't (after he breaks into the apartment of the character in question), literally nothing happens to him. Everything is backwards and contradictory right from the word go. The only good thing is that Joaquin Phoenix works hard to portray the character as best he can, but that's entirely down to his skill as an actor and is nothing to do with the script (if there even was one)
