I had to watch it twice

Rating: 10/10 (6 February 2020)

The reason I gave JOKER a 10 out of 10 is that 11 wasn't an option.
Phoenix's performance is outstanding. He brought an iconic character on screen in the most perfect style and he made me feel like I could finally see the real Joker from the comic books translated in the flesh. The subtleties and the nuances of his gestures are moving. I could not believe what my eyes were seeing. No offence to the other past attempts, but they do not go anywhere near this.
Everything in this masterpiece is absolute perfection from the beginning to the end. It's believable. It's technically spotless. It fits our times and the commentary on society is spot on.
