Joaquin Phoenix kills as the Joker

Rating: 9/10 (4 January 2020)

Joker is a dark movie which is a combination of both the Origin of the Joker and a journey inside the Joker's mad mind. I love how the villain is the Main Character and how he can carry his own movie like he's an even bigger star than Batman. To be honest you never even think of the Batman because the film is so fully centered on the titular character.
Joaquin Phoenix does the best performance of his life and is flawless in his performance with insanity, agony and just every detail that is the Joker.

The movie is not flawless: Phoenix kills as the Joker, the production value, effects, sound, music and everything is fantastic but the story does have an uneven script in several aspects:
1. What is real and what is in Arthur's head os not clear enough: For exampl, it was obvious that the love story between Arthur and his neighbour was all in his head but this wasn't shown until much later.
2. The ending: OK, so was the entire story all in his head? Or was he comitted after the movie took place? Did he somehow kill the woman in front of him? The ending is just thrown in and makes little sense due to lack of explanation.
The complaints I have is of course nitpicking on an overall fantastic movie. It's worth the watch for Phoenix's act alone and he raises the overall quality to an incredible level.
