River's brother is grown up!

Rating: 10/10 (5 December 2019)

WOW, what else can I say? Growing up I was a huge River Phoenix fan, and so distraught by his untimely passing in 1993. I've followed Joaquin's career from a distant and was even hesitant to see this film, when years before I would not only see his brother's films, I would make every effort to collect anything with featuring River. This film literally blew me away. Not only was the story very well written, the performance of Mr Phoenix was outstanding. He brought every torment he has ever endured out in the Joker. You felt all the emotions, and even felt good rooting for the "bad" guy. Thank you Joaquin for bringing Joker to life and letting us get inside his mind and feel his soul. Bravo!! Can't wait to hear your acceptance speech, your brother would be so proud of you!!
