High expectations were met and then some.

Rating: 10/10 (1 March 2020)

How this movie was slammed by professional critics? Beats me.
It is one of the greatest masterpieces of all time.
Normally I do not like slow paced movies. But Mr Phoenix carries this movie from start to finish. Assisted by a storyline that offers an alternate view of how the joker became the antisocial madman.
If I had to pick between this one or Heath Ledger's joker..... I just can't.
But if I had to pick between The Dark Knight or Joker... Joker all the way.
Everything just fits perfectly together.
