#9. TWO LOVERS
Gray placed Phoenix in a far more venerable role in their third time out. After The Yards (2000), We Own the Night (2007), the 2008 Cannes title that got release early 2009 Two Lovers saw Phoenix in his own Betty and Veronica dilemma. What will be known as Phoenix’s last role before he took on the fake rapper project with buddy Casey Affleck, it was fun to see the actor play the tortured soul in a situation that many folk would welcome. His performance actually lingered on beyond the film’s run time, and I hope to see this pairing work again in the new decade.
