The movie is Joker. It stars Joaquin Phoenix as a man whose life heads downward after losing, or killing, everything he loves.

It is darkness.

It is loneliness and despair.

It is a film that immerses one entirely in a man's depressive spiral.

Looking back, I probably should have been drunk to see this film. For, it might have been less surreal an experience. Yet, I see Phoenix getting an Oscar nom for it - and a likely win. He lost 52 lbs for the role. And, the movie is all him - if there are others in a scene, they're only there because of his character.

My friends, if you see this film, please let me know your thoughts. I'd like to know how, or if, it impacted you.
