***SPOILER ALERT***
This film has to be one of the best so far this year, especially from a superhero origin-style perspective. Even showing loose connections to how the media can play such an important role in the degradation of society, the disenfranchised class structures in which so-called 'normal' people feel so disconnected from political power. How easy it is for one man to be pushed further and further to his breaking point yet inadvertently starting a movement in which 'killing the rich' sometimes felt like a narrative which could play out today. Phoenix has to be one of the most unhinged character performers on screen at the moment and it's a great joy to see him in a film like this. It was so simple in its story, but did he imagine the relationship with his neighbour or is that open to interpretation, just like his mothers apparent delusional mentality?
