Excellent pacing and an a-class performance make a decent script soar.

Rating: 10/10 (4 October 2019)

Joker (2019) is a super intense and emotional ride that in the end leaves you terrified but also weirdly satisfied. On terms of story I would say it's good but relatively basic. But the well directed tension, the cinematoraphy and Phoenix's A-maaazing performance take it to a whole other level. One thing I can't decide on is how much I liked the last scene. On the one hand I found it a bit underwhelming compared to the scene that came before it that could have been a good finale, on the other hand I think it helped ease the feelings of distress that had gathered up in me at that point.
