A Superhero Movie as a Character Study

Rating: 10/10 (10 October 2019)

A movie headlined by the incredible, once in a lifetime performance by Joaquin Phoenix portraying the Clown Prince of Crime. Phoenix's performance is one for the ages! It is emotional, twisted, fearless, strange and stunning and is on par with the legendary performance of Heath Ledger from The Dark Knight. Furthermore, "Joker" is exceptionally directed with a unique style never before seen in superhero movie. It's visuals are beautiful, the shots are unique and the editing flawless. Definitely one of the best movies of 2019!
