Incredible plunge into madness

Rating: 9/10 (13 October 2019)

To say Joaquin Phoenix's performance in this film is incredible is an gross understatement. His portrayal of Arthur Fleck a/k/a Joker is fearless, gut wrenching and astounding. I would say without question one of the greatest acting performances I've ever seen.
The film is a testament to what creativity and raw talent can offer as new and previously undone at a time where so much of what we see is regurgitated dreck.
Rather then give a synopsis of the film as most reviewers have I will just say that "Joker" is everything it is hyped up to be. The film starts out a bit slow but the payoff is brilliant and worth the price of admission.
Go see this film if you want to be entertained with a phenomenal story, tremendous direction and one of the greatest performances by a lead actor you will ever see! It's that good!
