Wonderful and sad

Rating: 10/10 (12 January 2020)

Joker is hard to watch at times. I actually cringed a few times. It is so well acted by Phoenix. The setting is dark dingy and feels sick like the character. I liked getting the back story of the man that becomes Joker and his sad descent into madness. His lonesomeness, metal instability and the lack of compassion that people showed to him all make it understandable. Although he is a violent maniac in the end- I was almost glad to see he had found his purpose and was finally liked. Good cannot exist without evil...
