After the hype, all will remember Joaquin Phoenix, forget the Joker.

Rating: 7/10 (12 October 2019)

In order to properly review this movie, you have to isolate yourself, forget all the hype, and watch it as psychological drama movie.
Is it the best movie in 2019? Is it one of the top 10 movies in the history of movies? No, re-watchability is a major key here to get a yes in the previous questions, but I believe it's so hard to re-watch this movie again. It's so dark, depressing, not true and showing the human soul in surrendering positions most of the time.
"Joaquin Phoenix" did the role of his lifetime in this movie, and Oscar is granted here. Flawless performance, amazing facial expressions, beautiful body reactions and great joker make up and hair style. It's one of the most beautiful make up for the joker character in the movies.
But, where are the scars? Shouldn't be some scars on the face of joker? I don't know if people missed this or our 2019 joker is scar-free one and all the scars are psychological and in his soul only.
All the actors did a great job here but no one can beat "Joaquin Phoenix". But the great thing that all of the characters are well written, even the smallest role had great lines.
The cinematography and videography are great here, beautiful coloring and camera angels. The soundtrack is catchy and adds to the atmosphere of the movie.
Finally, it's a psychological movie, not about depression mainly but can get you one if you have a weak heart.
