    It’s good don’t get me wrong, but I left wanting more. There were certain relationships and characters that didn’t feel fully fleshed out, and it seemed like this film didn’t really know what themes it wanted to portray. I wasn’t the biggest fan of Mark Ruffalos performance but Toni Collette was amazing. The humor was very 50/50 for landing and I definitely get the comparisons to Terry Gilliam’s style. Very close to giving it a four but I just feel…

    This movie was acc so good and I’m shocked it didn’t win many Oscar’s. Gylenhaal and Heath Ledgers performances were crazy and it felt so real throughout the film. Felt a little slow but similar to Dune I didn’t mind it because of how good the movie was. I’m not sure if I like this performance of heath ledger or him as the joker more cuz they’re both so different. Overall great film and one of I’d say my top 50 movies now.
