Powerful psychodrama led by an incredible performance by Joaquin Phoenix!

Rating: 9/10 (4 October 2019)

Joaquin Phoenix gave the performance of a lifetime as Arthur Fleck, a man disregarded by society. It's more of a psychological character study than a comic book film. Todd Phillips did a great job directing, as did the cinematographers, turning New York City into an almost hellish landscape.
Joker is a dark psychodrama of nihilism and Joaquin Phoenix's disturbing performance as the iconic Clown Prince is the embodiment of pure anarchy. But never once did this movie feel like it was glorifying radical anarchism or anything like that. It's more of a cautionary tale, and critique of societal failings, shedding awareness to all the things that are misunderstood about the misunderstood.
9/10.
