Different in a good light

Rating: 9/10 (14 October 2019)

Joker has been one of the most anticipated and hype movies of the year and the hype began when Joaquin Phoenix was cast as Joker. The hype for the film is accurate as this is a great and entertaining film. This isn't a typical "superhero" film but more of a crime drama, based upon the origin story.
The acting by Joaquin was top notch as expected and will sure give him plenty of award season nominations. The supporting cast is great as well. What makes this film as good as it is, is not only the performances but the writing and story is interesting. This is a far different Joker than in the previous Batman films. Also a really good thing the studios didn't tone this movie down, as it's R-rating most definitely have it more of a realistic edge, than a PG-13 rating would.
