I choose to see this movie with no expectation but to hopefully be entertained, and at the movies end, I walked away conflicted, excited, disturbed, sadden, hopeful, and completely satisfied. This movie won’t sit well with the self-righteous “critics included.” Ultimately this movie did what all good movies do: entertains, enlightens, provides reflection and introspection. Great movies tend to go a step further and lead the viewer to do something they wouldn’t ordinarily do. I reread Matthew 7:1-6; but I usually read scripture anyway. A great performance by Joaquin Phoenix.
