I loved this film. I'm annoyed with all the bull shit media around it that tortured the creators as the articles obviously were stretching to find problems with the movie.
The plot had various weaknesses that were blown away by the tremendous performance by Joaquin. I loved that scene where he is rehearsing for the show by himself in his room.
I thought if anything the movie could have been longer and explored more of Arthur's descent. The fantasy girlfriend didn't need to be spoon-fed. Her shock of seeing Arthur was enough. The plot line with the crazy mom was also kind of awkward - like the Wayne butler response of "that bitch was cray" and Wayne himself "you were adopted lol she was crazy PUNCH".
