This movie sucked. It has to be one of the biggest wastes of my time I have had yet. I'm really starting to dislike Joaquin Phoenix. It's like he's trying to become Daniel Day-Lewis without the talent and just buckets of weirdness instead.So, this is a thinly-veiled story about scientology. An author and demagogue named Lancaster Dodd (Philip Seymour Hoffman) takes in a shiftless alcoholic (Joaquin Phoenix) after World War II and begins to "process" him through his past lives. His wife, Peggy (Amy Adams), a true believer, has serious reservations about allowing this drunk moron into their Cause.
It is awful. There's no real story, no background, just a fucked-up bromance between a ne'er-do-well and a guy who is completely full of shit. I have no idea why anyone thought this was a good film to make and I sincerely hope everyone nominated loses tonight as punishment for loosing this film onto the world.
