2019's Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (9 October 2019)

Simple as that. Joker is a masterpiece. As a character driven origin film, this is the quintessential DC movie.
As a film, Joker is incredible to behold. It almost feels like an honour watching some of the best cinematography and directing of this year come alive right before your eyes. Each shot is like a painting perfectly making use of the 80's athsetic.
Joaquin Phoenix puts in a career best performance, equalling and some times surpassing Ledgers take in 'The Dark Knight'. The supporting cast around him is fantastic too from De Niro as the Gotham talk show host to Zeze Beetz as Arthurs Flecks love interest and neighbor.
Joker is one of the best films of 2019 and extremely important now more than ever with its realistic take on how mental illness affects us and the people around us. I cant say enough how this film is A MASTERPIECE!
