Brilliantly Demented

Rating: 10/10 (13 October 2019)

Not only one of the most brilliant and thought provoking films of the year, but also one of the most well made, Joker stands atop any other comic book inspired film this year by truly delving into an area so often shied away from and shining every step of the way. Joaquin Phoenix gives a breathtaking performance as Arthur Fleck, aka Joker, and truly is the main force carrying this film through. That being said however, the film has so much more to offer. From its stunning soundtrack, wonderful cinematography, provocative storytelling, and by far phenomenal acting, the film hits home on almost every remark. The film may seem a bit slow with pacing, but it's interesting enough to carry you along, especially with never truly knowing what may come next. In the end, Todd Phillips Joker is a brilliant masterpiece that is better than it has any right to be. Let's just hope the Oscars think the same, because by God does this film deserve some.
My Rating: 10/10
