Believe the hype!

Rating: 10/10 (11 October 2019)

Do not let the matacritic score fool you ! It is comprised of people who are quick to label the film edgy jusy because it touches on social matters, people who in my opinion should not be able to publish a movie rating as professionals. Everything that has to do with The Joker is done in a perfect way. Not only is phoenix's performance astonishing but the cinematography and climate of the film are perfect. It is truly a drama that makes an excellent background story for the character and has you on your heels everytime Joaquin is on the screen. Plus the violence felt very impactful and carried a message instead of simply being a way to make the film more intense.
