Well made

Rating: 6/10 (11 October 2019)

I was pleasantly surprised by the tone of the movie, that's between grim and surreal with occasional grotesque moments, underlined by an outstanding use of music. Phoenix is freakin good, I liked much his laugh. The character development is good.
On the other hand, Joker comes a bit short in the ending, when you expect a climax that's nowhere to be found. Phoenix acting becomes a little stale also, when it should have delivered the final punch. Another flaw (or it's more a doubt maybe) is the glorification of social revenge. I didn't like the unnecessary rude depiction of Wayne at all. Overall, it's a well made and well directed movie, that could have had more substance. And as usual nowadays, a nice movie that's heavily marketed suddenly becomes a masterpiece for the masses. 6.5 stars.
