Phoenix stars, but story could be better

Rating: 8/10 (9 February 2020)

The writers of this film have really captured a real world problem. The rich can do what they want, while the rest of us suffer for their belligerence. The human race continues to hate and distrust one another. One of the successes of this film is that a lot of people can relate to this sentiment. Take a man barely surviving, constant undeserving isolation by people, everyone has their breaking point.
Personally, I think the build up is a bit to slow and the mental breaking of Joker needed to go darker, but you cant make as much money if the film is an 18 rating. Take nothing away from Pheonix's performance, it was very very good and in my opinion better than the Ledger, why so serious performance.
The ending is by far and away the best part, you cant help but SMILE AND PUT ON A HAPPY FACE
