Awkwardly funny, but masterful

Rating: 8/10 (10 October 2019)

Joaquin Phoenix's portrayal of the joker is perfect, and exactly what I was hoping for. His theatrical prowess balanced seamlessly with his darker psychedelic side. The amount of time he has put into the character is obvious, from his physical clown like characteristics to his - almost frightening laughter which will be ringing in your head for days to come. This is not a superhero movie nor can you compare Phoenix to Heath Ledger. One thing for sure both their portals of the Joker are unique and individually immense.
