A masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (15 October 2019)

Joker is way bolder and way weirder than most superhero movies. It goes long stretches without any action and tries to raise larger questions about mental health, isolation and governmental support systems. Not all of it works. What does, though, is terrific. Phoenix deserves all the praise he's getting. The cinematography is among the best you'll see this year, and I'll be thinking about a handful of scenes for a long time. And yes this movies deserves an oscar.
