Astonishing, chilling, terrifying. Joaquin Pheonix brings the Joker to life.

Rating: 10/10 (4 October 2019)

I've waited a very long time to see and review this film. Let me start off I understand the controversy around this film. This is a very intense, dark film for mature audiences. It gives you a very deep and dark look into the mind of a mentally ill man who is rejected by society and becomes a homicidal villain. Joaquin Pheonix, who in my opinion gave the greatest performance I've seen in a very, very long time, brought the Joker to life. It is so hard to word how I feel after walking out of this film. The way Joaquin portrayed this character just left me speechless. I actually was uncomfortable at moments. Without giving anything away to the plot, Joker was rollercoaster that gave me a different perspective on comic book films. The acting was absolutely amazing, the score was just WOW! Whoever composed it definitely deserves recognition. I DO NOT I repeat DO NOT believe this movie is suited for immature audiences and believe parents should not let their kids see this film until they have a mature mindset. To me this film was one of the greatest films ive seen and has entered my top 10 list. Not sure exactly where it stands yet but it is in that list for sure.
