Outstanding.

Rating: 9/10 (6 October 2019)

Joker delivers what it promises and more. A twisted tale of a sick man corrupted by a decadent society. It's clear the script was carefully written, and Phillips directed the hell out of it. Guðnadóttir's work also stands out, the music is as ominous and dark as the film itself. Finally Phoenix's performance as Arthur is something else, absolutely remarkable and Oscar-worthy. He carries the whole film on his shoulders with his performance, totally different from Ledger's but as riveting and astonishing.
Joker shows us more about the man behind the makeup, still it doesn't make anything entirely clear, forcing you doubt and rethink to everything you see. And that sometimes dangerous ambiguity is for the better in the movie, for it is carried out masterfully.
