The acting is great

Rating: 10/10 (12 October 2019)

It was just phenomenal. It's a slow movie, it takes to the last half an hour to really show the Joker. But I liked it. His slow deterioration was just beautifully displayed. How he lost everything that kept him from insanity. How he slowly transformed into the Joker, what was just his imagination and what was not. Joaquin Phoenix' performance is not comparable to Heath Ledger's, it's different. Every Joker until today, had their own spin on the character, but this one was really worthy of an Academy Award. First review, so excuse shallowness and plain obviousness and I'm drunk and tired. Sorry, last sentece: this movie lives up to my favorite movie Oldboy.
