Film Review: Joker

Rating: 10/10 (7 February 2020)

Having watched this last night, I am in a trance. This film was absolutely brilliant, but it is not for the faint hearted. Joaquin Phoenix does the best Joker we've seen since The Dark Knight and he must receive Best Actor for this. This film is not so gory it should be an 18, but it is particularly gory. In one scene, a man is stabbed with scissors and his head is bashed against a wall. The aftermath is disgusting. Strong language occurs throughout the film. Beware, this is NOT a superhero movie. This film is about mental health and it is not in any way about the DC universe. Even my dad liked it, and that's saying something.
