all I can say is "wow"

Rating: 10/10 (12 October 2019)

Joaquin Phoenix puts forward one of the best acting performances of our generation. I still watch the Dark Knight to this day for Heath Ledger's incredible performance. While it is certainly unfair to compare one's rendition to the other, I never thought I would see the Joker brought to life in as dynamic of a way as Ledger's Joker, but Phoenix certainly did so.
The movie is deeply disturbing and is an emotional roller-coaster. Without revealing spoilers, the movie is about a severely mentally ill man who is becoming more and more psychotic as society pushes him away and into madness.
The ending. I can't even put it into words. All I will say is this: when Phoenix goes full "Joker" at the end, I had goosebumps on my arms for minutes. When you watch the movie, you will know the exact moment I'm talking about.
For me, this was one of those movies that will be talked about for years to come.
