This movie is so dull, is the director the real Joker?

Rating: 1/10 (11 October 2019)

Pretty close-ups of Joaquim Phoenix, if that's what you want to see, you'll get 2 hours of it here. The worst kind of movies are the ones label 'character studies', because then you are expected to like it because the lead actor literally hogs the spotlight the entire movie. There's no room for supporting actors in that type of film, you have to sit and watch the movie evolve around that one actor. The last few Daniel Day Lewis movies have suffered that same ailment.
On top of that, this movie just rips off Scorsese with no shame. News flash: If we've seen it before, it's NOT new. Homage or straight theft? You decide. Or not, just avoid this one.
