Cinematic masterpiece - Best movie I've seen this year!

Rating: 10/10 (7 October 2019)

Firstly if you are a cinema fan and appreciate the way a story unfolds; camera angles; character development then GO and see this movie! You will enjoy it immensely.
Now I had high hopes for this movie. Phoenix is an incredible actor and all the early reviews looked great. What I wasn't prepared for was the emotional connection I had with such a dark piece of film. The way you are drawn in as a viewer to the plight of Joker's character is fantastic. The set created a real feel to a 'comic' movie which is often missing. The story is actually close to the bone when you look at modern society; this only adds to the brutality. Fantastic film with all the right elements and casting. You will hear people say this movie is too dark but that is the exact reason the movie works so well. I would be surprised if Phoenix was denied an Oscar nod. I would say this is the best movie of 2019 so far. Bravo to the team behind JOKER.
