Rating: 10/10 (4 October 2019)

***_NO_SPOILERS_***

Finally a DC movie savagely walked n sat on the Masterpiece Shelve beside "Dark Knight trilogy". First I thought, It would have been great if Martin Scorsese directed this film when it was announced long back, but #Todd_phillips proved he is a master in carving this Art-Emotional-Crime-SuperVillain-Drama , a little slow.. but not for me , So Deep, Dark & Psychological tale for the origin of The JOKER , Todd Phillips's previous Comedy-dramas have gave him so much experience & insight to deal this psychic comedian, and he used it perfectly.
Cinematography, lighting, Set works, Editing have perfectly delivered us Retro style of Gotham city.
Joaquin Phoenix is the best JOKER till date as same as Heath ledger. But if I must say who is the 1st best... it's "Phoenix" of course for me, hands down !! Because he showed us shades of sanity to Insanity . A full length character study throughout the duration of the film.
Robert De Niro , what to say about him ? , Top notch performance as Murray.
that vintage stage-dramatic music is so engaging & apt to every scene accordingly.

-Over all it is one of the greatest comic based films .

Phoenix deserves best actor academy award.

#NOTE : This film is not like other DC/Marvel comics based films , not even a bit, far less popcorn entertainer than "dark Knight trilogy"... No money heists, no major chase sequences, no blasts & shootouts , no big action sequences, ...It's something like the this decade's Taxi driver (1976), The King of comedy (1982) & Man on the moon (1999). If you are only into that above entertainer kinda stuff & doesn't like little slow art type films, then better stay away from this .
