Film of the Year

Rating: 10/10 (7 October 2019)

A cinematic event to be remembered - with themes of mental illness, bullying, the subjective nature of comedy, mob mentality/political outrage, trauma, murder, rich vs poor and an Oscar-worthy performance by Joaquin Phoenix, JOKER makes for a disturbing, stressful, uncomfortable 2 hours that will leave you thinking about the blurred lines between good people and bad people, and the people who pretend to be good and the good people that become bad.
Out of this world sound design and cinematography make this a must-watch if you can handle it. Earns its hard R too.
9/10
