great but not epic

Rating: 8/10 (7 October 2019)

The basic story-idea of a tough childhood and a medical condition
that causes his uncontrolled laughter especially when he is emotionaly on a total downswing is something that makes Arthur Fleck aka Joker very believable as a "real" character and Phoenix's performance here is extraordinary as i expected it to be.
The movie is great but i didnt feel that it was epic to give a full 10,
something was missing for me, Arthur Fleck sure has the crazieness of
Joker but at the same time seems not to be the brightest bulb in the chandelier.
