WELL TOLD COMPELLING DARK STORY!

Rating: 9/10 (24 December 2019)

Coming into this film, the majority of people knew what the result of Arthur Fleck would be by the end of the film, despite their being no mystery to it, it doesn't prevent the ending from being shocking and compelling.
The audience is fully aware that Arthur will turn evil but from what we see in the film, what he goes through and how society treats him, you kind of support him and want him to pursue his beliefs. In the long run when he finally feels free, it makes you feel happy for him.
Joaquin Phoenix's portrayal as the Joker is Oscar-worthy, as he perfectly describes his descent into madness.
