Desolation and Revenge Fuel Joker

Rating: 10/10 (8 October 2019)

It took two viewings to gather this movie all in. It wasn't until the second time that the tragedy sunk in. Todd Phillip's interpretation of the greatest villain in comic history will haunt you for days after you've watched it. Joaquin Phoenix delves into the abyss to bring you a version of the Joker that is both sad and terrifyingly isolated within the dark forces of his own mind and environment. Everything is a delusion within a reality within a nightmare. Your heart aches to hear him laugh at offbeat moments and at his childlike belief being shattered into madness. Joker in my opinion falls right behind Dark Knight as the best the comic book genre has to offer in movies.
