Wow this is quite bad

Im giving it half a star because I guess we should recognize Joaquin’s performance even though it’s far below any other performances he’s given in similar genres (re: The Master, You Were Never Really Here) . But holy shit this movie was reprehensible. The gimmick with the dwarf? The broad strokes with which it paints the mentally ill? Explaining Arthur’s depeavity as a result of childhood abuse? This is dangerous nihilistic rehtoric packaged as enlightenment for fuck boys who’ve never bothered to understand compassion
It’s incredible that this is the worst movie I’ve ever watched
