Astonishing!

Rating: 10/10 (5 October 2019)

This movie takes on mental illness in a big way! Also spins the typical story of the elite stepping on the unfortunate and ignoring those hurt by society and the injustice of poverty. Excellent directing by Todd Phillips and an Oscar worthy performance by Joaquin Phoenix, shot in a drab 80's style like Maniac or Taxi driver that would make Scorsese proud. Then wraps it all up with subtle touches of a familiar tale bent to the storyteller's take of the DC comic universe that should keep fanboys interested. A must see in my opinion.
