The central deceit unexpectedly turns into something as profound as life itself, and Phoenix gives an extraordinarily applied and moving performance - yes you are right that he richly deserved a nomination. I also agree with you on Johhanson. Playing it straight with deadpan humor seems to be a vital artistic decision. Without question one of the three or four best films of the year. Wonderful review.Sam Julianonoreply@blogger.com
