The joke is on the audience for paying to see this cinematic schlep
Brilliant
It seems strange to me how similar all the one star reviews are. I suspect it is political trolling by the progressive left who never actually saw the movie.
The acting of Joaquin Phoenix was amazing, but the level of violence and disturbing content was too much for me
quality acting
Brilliant performance by Joaquin Phoenix!
An astounding university course in psychology condensed in 2 hours. Puts right in your face the darker side society doesn't want to see about itself. Phoenix deserves an oscar for this one and so does Todd Philips.
What a dum movie about an idiot clown.
I thought it was an excellent, yet dreary, character study cataloging one man's struggles with mental illness and a fall into darkness. I was very impressed with Phoenix's portrayal.
This movie was captivating. Oscar worthy performance by Joaquin Phoenix. Great production and story. One of the best movies of the year.
