Sickeningly Superb

Rating: 10/10 (7 October 2019)

It's rare for a film to stay with me into the next day, but this was such a powerfully disturbing, brilliantly acted story that I was thinking about it on and off for a long time. Joker is a deeply thoughtful, visceral reflection on the sad brokenness of a life cruelly twisted by the sins of others, that leads to hatred and violence. It is a dramatic tour-de-force from Joaquin Phoenix.
