MOVIE OF THE YEAR.

Rating: 10/10 (9 October 2019)

I'd first like to state that I have never written a review about a movie before simply because I've always believed that people shouldn't judge a movie off of negative / positive reviews but rather they should just go in with an open mind and form their own opinions.
For this movie, I simply could not, not write a review. Anyone rating this movie low either thinks that this movie involves / revolves around Batman or just wants to dislike it because it 'doesn't delve into social or mental health issues'. I absolutely loved this movie and honestly nearly bought tickets to go and see the very next morning after the first time I viewed it. Joaquin's performance is brilliant and he brings something to the character that I feel has never been displayed before. Yes the movie doesn't go into massive depth about mental health etc. but in a 2 hour movie you really can't expect much more and the movie isn't meant to be a documentary / info pic. Joker is simply put, the unraveling of a man suffering from alienation and mental disease. It is violent (but not excessively) and displayed everything that I was looking for in a character as notorious as the Joker. The costumes, cinematography, acting and score are amazing. Go and watch this movie!
