A really thought - provoking movie. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga were great, and the music fantastic. If you don’t want to feel empathy for people with psychiatric disorders , don’t go see this movie. But if you are at all curious looking into the minds of truly disturbed, damaged people, this movie gives you much to think about. It’s sad, moving, touching, and the songs are classics. I’d see this again.
