A rare powerhouse

Rating: 9/10 (12 February 2020)

I've got to concur with all the other praise. What a great, solid, true, heartbreaking film - a welcome break from the deluge of lycra-clad franchise crap. I doubt anyone will escape untouched or fail to recognise a lot of the humanity - or lack of - on show. The leads are insanely good. I suspect Joaquin Phoenix beating Adam Driver to the awards will be looked back on distastefully. The cartoon, no matter how good, should never beat the three-dimensional. More like this please.
