A dazzling demonstration of what both Phillips and Phoenix are capable of

Rating: 10/10 (9 October 2019)

Joaquin Phoenix delivers a perfect representation of the clown prince of crime in this absolutely phenomenal film. Todd Phillips did an excellent job in the writing and direction of the film and the sound track is also one of the best I've seen for a long time. This is by far my favourite movie of all time and I do think it will age well despite the controversy over its depictions of violence which help demonstrate the capabilities of such a twisted character. I would certainly suggest this film even if you are not a comic movie fan since this really departs from the flashy antics we are used to and narrows in on the nitty, gritty details of such an infamous character, giving us a realistic, in depth study on a mentally ill person.
