Incredible performance from Joaquin Phoenix..can not fault this film at all , absolute Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (11 October 2019)

I have seen this film 4 times in less than a week; The trailers had me wanting to see this from over a month ago and sometimes when a film is hyped up, it falls flat as you expect too much. On this occaision Joaquin Phoenix delivers an acting masterclass and one the greatest performances of all time. The film is very dark and worth watching even if you are not into the typical Batman/Joker Genre. One fantastic aspect of this film is trying to work out how how much of the film is "real" or just Arthur's imagination 1, Obviously Arthurs initial interactions with Sophie & No 2 , his inital interaction with Murray Franklin whilst in the audience..the rest is speculative 3 his interaction with a young Bruce at the Wayne family Home, 4 his meeting with Thomas Wayne at the theatre, 5 His appearance on the Murray Franklin show 6, The incident in the Police car after its hit by the ambulence.7, killing his mother in hopital (not one of the machines connected to her sounds an alarm that she is dead) did he smother her at home?..in fact was most of this film from Arthurs imagination whilst he is in the Asylum ...either way 10/10 and Joaquin Phoenix, amazing the Best Actor Oscar is yours
