IM DA JOKA BABY!

Rating: 10/10 (5 October 2019)

From all of the kinos Joaquin Phoenix has been apart of, he can still give performances that secedes and compliments each role by unlocking the human experience. You're not supposed to feel empathy towards an autistic psychopath (incel), but Phoenix's adaptation of The Joker gives a nuanced perspective towards the cliched archetype. Critics who fear that this film will incite violence and inspiration towards the incel community are right. Had it been any other actor up for the role, they would have not touched the downtrodden so easily. 10/10 BNM
