Joaquin Phoenix steals the show with amazing acting.

Rating: 10/10 (3 October 2019)

Joaquin Phoenix steals the show in this beautifully crafted show. From storyline, direction, acting to post-production everything was handled really well.
there is gore violence in the movie, but at no point is it unnecessary or not a part of the story. it speaks to the character's development and gives us a glimpse into the mental state of "Joker". at the end of the movie, you could be forgiven for feeling sorry for Joker and all those who oppress us. No wonder US Police Department issued advisories to local state departments to guard the area outside movie theatres.
It is a must watch, even if you have no idea of the Marvel Cinematic Universe or Batman. There is a small overlap with Batman and the Wayne family, but you will be able to understand the movie even if you don't have knowledge of Batman Universe
