Turgid

Rating: 2/10 (13 February 2020)

This film clearly polarises its viewers and I'm afraid I'm in the minority end of that polarisation. It is an over-long self indulgent study of mental illness, which is bizarrely set in a comic book world where we see the groundwork for a future Batman. A very unentertaining couple of hours, although I do acknowledge Phoenix's performance - which became the first time two actors have won an Oscar for playing the same character (Heath Ledger won for his Joker).
