A truly unforgettable film

Rating: Null/10 (7 October 2019)

Phoenix's Oscar-worthy performance and the gritty, dark storytelling abilities of Todd Phillips combine to make, in my opinion, one of the best movies in recent memory. Through the first 30 minutes or so of the movie, it isn't as dark or gripping as the trailers portray it. But after the subway scene (if you haven't seen it yet, you'll know exactly what I mean when you do see it), the mood of the movie immediately snaps to dark and disturbing and the viewer can feel it. The grittiness and truly twisted nature of Arthur Fleck's persona helps create the most dark and gripping story since Silence of the Lambs. This movie, especially the ending, will most likely stick with you for a long time, as I know it will for me.
