An absolute Masterpiece and truly haunting performance from Joaquin Phoenix

Rating: 10/10 (23 December 2019)

Wow, that was an experience of a film. It's rare for a film to live up to its hype, even rarer for it to surpass it and my God didn't this movie just do that. The grit and feel of the film is something that is a wonder to watch with tremendous storytelling and what is a truly astounding performance from Phoenix. His portrayal of the Joker was quite rightly always going to be compared to Heath Ledgers magnificent portrayal and I, along with many many others, suspected it could not be done again. How wrong I was, Joaquin is truly unbelievable in this film, you can actually believe he has completely gone insane, just broken from the crooked system we live in. It is so strange how relatable the character is as anyone who has fell on hard times probably has gone through struggles that no one deserves and highlights so many problems in our modern day society. This is honestly one of the best films ever and is something really special, just sit back and enjoy.......and smile
