A terrifying masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (9 October 2019)

Probably the best acting performance ever. And I don't say that lightly.
I don't remember the last time I watched a film and delved so deeply into the mind of the main character. It's scary, depressing at times.. but a shockingly real mirror on western society. From the smallest details in scenes, the viewer can abstract and pull real life experiences.
It takes the viewer so deep inside the mind of an indivudual who is confused on his reality vs consensus reality. We are taken on a journey of realisations, discovery of past trauma and floor shattering, life changing discoveries that even makes the viewer question their reality, their past and their capacity to fall into a confused state of mind. Once Patrick's floor of reality is taken from below him, he doesn't know how to react, his worldview is flipped and he is thrown into a freefall of madness. You as the viewer go there with him and the acting performance is so brilliant, you really feel all his anxieties and confusion of reality transferred onto you.
A depressing film, I left the cinema is desperate need of positive thoughts.
However.. as one of the most important films of the decade I believe this film should be inspected and thought deeply about the problems in our society.
