It's not perfect, but it's still a ten

Rating: 8/10 (26 November 2019)

Joker made my jaw drop. Joker made my heart raise. Joker gave me hope for the future of cinema.
In a society where average after average movie gets pumped out and eaten up, this is a delightful surprise. From a technical standpoint it is absolutely perfect. The script could have been a little bit better, and by a little I mean tiny. I would say it's really about a taste difference and where you want the story to go. I feel that at some parts the tension in some scenes could have been done a little bit better, but after all the tension was great.
This movie did a couple of things for me; it gave me hope that there is still great film making out there, that doesn't play for cheap tricks, dumb story lines etc. But instead a movie that takes it self seriously and is also justified to do so. I'm not saying it is the only one of its kind, because a lot of great movies and series have been done in the last years, but it's nice to see a movie like this break box office records. Joker also made me lose whatever respect I still had for "professional film critics", never will I again base any decisions on critics reviews.
We need more movies that tries and succeeds in tension, beauty, brilliant acting and intelligent story lines. This movie is a masterpiece and I dare say it was one of the best movie experiences of my life, don't miss out.
