Anyone watch the whole thing and care to give a review?

I've tried, but can't get past the first few minutes. Too dark.

I tried, about 20 or 25 minutes was plenty for me. Some on the board loved it, read all about it in this thread.

I think it's one of the worst movies ever made. The story is so empty, a gratuitous portrait of man so pathetic and unredeeming that you don't care about his decent into violence. It's like something a serial killer would make about himself. The dialog is also horrible. DeNiro's performance is so flat and on the nose that it's unbelievable.

If not branded by the Batman franchise and riding the coattails of previous performances by other actors, no one would see it or care. Phoenix plays him as if the worst parts of his Gladiator character imitating Heath Ledger while covered in feces. His acclaim for the performace can be directly at his willingness to "go there".

It's a pathetic portrayal of incel lore.

I don't generally hate movies, I hated this. It's not entertaining at all.

Saw this last night. Very different from what I was expecting. Very well done. Beautifully shot and acted. Great score, too. Phoenix will definitely and deservedly be in the running for Best Actor.
