Joker is a masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (7 October 2019)

Intense, unnerving film that caused real dialogue between myself and the person I saw the film with. Don't quite understand the controversy surrounding it and I admit it won't be a film that everyone will love (has a pace that some may consider slow). Really interesting character study that Phoenix absolutely nails. I understand it won't happen, but would love to see more Gotham villains get this type of standalone origin film treatment. Love that Gotham was utilized as more than just the backdrop.
