Why do we need movies like this in the world?

Rating: 1/10 (10 October 2019)

I reluctantly went to see this movie as my son had seen it and wanted to discuss with me after I had seen it myself. This movie is the darkest movie I have ever witnessed in my life since going to movies starting in the 60's, which have included Taxi Driver, Silence of the Lambs etc . Not withstanding, Phoenix delivered an incredible performance, but the whole pretext of Hollywood producing such a piece...well it just sickens me. Why has our culture has stooped to this level? There is even a scene that appeared to celebrate and represented the glorification of the devil himself. Sickening.
