I know the reasons why you wouldn't like this film.

Rating: 10/10 (8 October 2019)

The problem with this movie is that it is too real. Maybe way too real for some people to absorb. Maybe it scares them, maybe it intimidates them, maybe it sickens them, maybe they are forced to see some things that they are not ready to see or forced to believe some things they are not ready to believe. But not for a moment does it change the fact that it is REAL.
This Joker IS NOT your typical 1st gen or 2nd gen Comic Book villain. This film does not follow your typical MCU, DC adaptations of Comics. This is no adaptation of anything you've read. There are no CGI effects. No half hour long fight sequences. No alien races coming to help. There isn't even a Batman to this Joker. This joker doesn't birth from a chemical accident, but rather from the conscious actions of a cruel society to a point where you have to make your imaginery comfort zone... then losing that too.
The loneliness, the darkness, the emotions, the fall from grace so beautifully captured that it haunts you. The fall in darkness so black it upsets you. It poses questions that hurt your conscience... answers to which you would rather avoid.
You can't watch it, and he lived it. And that is Joaquin's Joker... a monster made by YOU.
