Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (8 October 2019)

It has been a very long time since I've had such a reaction to a movie, I even had to set my popcorn down from about 3 minutes in. In ways I hated watching this film, purely because I found it so incredibly uncomfortable to watch. For the majority of the movie I had tears in my eyes for the sympathy that I felt for Arthur Fleck, it was a completely new approach to the Joker and I have to say I felt things that I never thought I would feel for the character. Joaquin Phoenix definitely deserves the highest of praise for this genius performance, I found him heartbreaking and was overcome with emotion throughout the movie. I don't think that anyone else could have portrayed the character in such an amazing way. An absolute work of art.
