6/10
Existentialism
21 April 2024
Joaquin Phoenix and Emma Stone delivered. Their conversations fully inspired by texts from various philosophical sources carried the entire movie, mostly from Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment, which the Russian writer wrote while doing time.

The theme of existentialism is explored by the bored-with-his-life philosophy teacher who decides to change things that lead to a whole cluster of things, intended and non.

A refresher treat of the various angles of philosophy are taken up by all the smart talk in the movie; some practical ones depict their lack of depth.

The chemistry among the cast was perfectly organized, save for a few misses.

Worth a rewatch.
