I go to movies in the same way I read books. Tess of the d'Urbervilles, classic tragic hero. Arthur Fleck, classic tragic anti-hero. Similar stories of use and abuse from childhood into adulthood but with very different outcomes. That's interesting to me. Their stories and the way they are told are fascinating.
If this movie were a book, and you "backdated it" as a long lost now found work by Hardy (it was compressed and as dense as Hardy) or Hemingway or Dickens, it would be heralded as classic literature that senior HS English teachers would use it as part of a hero curriculum. The script was that good IMHO. And the acting.
Of course there's Stuart Little for entertainment too.
