I Mean, It's Good.

Alright, I think I overhyped this a little bit, and - you know what - that's totally on me.
Joker is a good film but I wasn't really impressed by anything other than Joaquin Phoenix. His performance pretty much overshadows any other aspect of the film for me.
It's well shot, it's well put together, but having seen it, I was left with the impression that it could've been a masterpiece in the hands of a better director-with a better script.
I have some issues with the plot, and there were some specific things that were clearly thrown in there to try to please a certain type of audience, but at the end of the day, Joker is a good film. Just not the masterpiece I was hoping for.
But gosh, I'm so glad the film is doing well. Joaquin Phoenix is one of my favorite actors and I love that he's getting the attention and recognition he deserves.
