Joker is brilliant

Rating: 9/10 (3 October 2019)

Joaquin Phoenix has given the performance of his career and that's saying something because it's Joaquin Phoenix. He has given a fresh take on the iconic villain rather than repeating any previous incarnations including the comic book versions. He has given mutiple shades of madness to his joker. Truly Oscar worthy.
Direction , music , cinematography and editing are all brilliant and perfectly blended in this masterpiece. Theres a scorcese vibe throughout the move and also there is a subtle reference near the end to Heath ledger's joker in a shot which was beautiful.
Joker is basically a saddening tale of abuse on people whom the mainstream soceity considers weird and what it can do to a person who in his own words has never been happy for one minute in his life.
Arthur fleck coming out and embracing his true potential of the Joker persona is symbolic to DC focusing on it's darker source materials like TDK trilogy and not try to be another MCU.
In short Joker is Brilliant piece of cinema on one of the most iconic comic book villains who rightly deserves this!!
