This movie is a very dark and violent psychological thriller, definitely NOT for every taste.

Sometimes you come out of a theater and think to yourself "what have I just seen?".
Usually an experience like that leaves me irritated or even frustrated about time wasted. Not this movie.
It is full of memory flashes some of which might be dreams that never occurred.
Reality mixed with a sick mind's hallucinations of a war veteran with PTSD who was abused as a boy.
You never have a full picture, only small fragments, and you have to think to make it whole. That is intriguing in itself since you cannot be sure you got it right.
Great performance by Joaquin Phoenix, intense albeit somewhat intrusive sound track, fantastic cinematography.
Overall, a piece of art made by talented people.
