Yes. The movie is dark. Joaquin Phoenix performance stunning, haunting, scary. no one else could have pulled this off. Story of a mentally I’ll man who was abused and neglected as a child. The system abandons him and can no longer get the meds he needs to treat his illness. This is not a “Batman” movie despite its references. It’s about mental illness and a deeply troubled man who can only exist in his fantasy world. without resources he desperately needs he is doomed.
