A MUST WATCH

Rating: 10/10 (9 October 2019)

Take a bow Joaquin Phoenix! If this doesn't get him an Oscar, I don't know what will. A dark and gritty film that explores the mind of a broken and mentally deranged man, it's a difficult watch. The first half deals with Arthur's daily life and all things his mind has to go through. The second half is a bomb especially the last 20 minutes or so when he fully embraces his Joker persona - "I thought my life was a tragedy, but now I realise it's a comedy". There are some chilling murder scenes and revelations which is gonna make you question that how much of the film actually happened and how much of it was in his mind. Joaquin just set a benchmark for any future actor who's gonna take up the mantle of joker. Although it's an origin story, we see things from the perspective of Arthur who's a very unreliable narrator and so we don't exactly know what's real and what's his mental construct . A film which is gonna make your head spin for days , it's a must watch.
