An experience one must have!!

Rating: 10/10 (5 October 2019)

Let me just say that no, the praise everyone has heard about this before it released was not the usual overhyping of a movie from critics at festivals, it was 100% deserved, I completely understand why it got an 8 minute standing ovation at Venice and yes, I did clap when this movie ended, and so did the packed audience at the theatre I went to.
I mean, can you blame me? From the minute "Joker" starts you are glued to the screen, I literally did not avert my gaze for a second. Joaquin Phoenix gives probably the best performance of his life (and that's saying something) and definitely deserves an Oscar nomination.
The story, even though a tad predictable, is amazingly written, full of great moments, both funny and dramatic and really shows
us why Arthur Fleck decides to turn into the homicidal maniac that is the Joker.
Overall this is probably my favourite comic-book movie of all time, if not just my favourite movie of all time, the way Todd Philips directed his feature is astonishing, I mean this movie looks sooooo good and I, for one, cannot wait to see what he does in the future.
A+
