Finally. Beautiful film is back.

Rating: 10/10 (14 November 2019)

The most empathetic spiral into a rage fuelled desire to belong in a realistic, cruel but not-so-dissimilar to reality kind of way. Almost a psychological expose on how home grown terrorists feel and are made; how kids end up shooting up schools. This is how. Bullying, ostracism, falling through the cracks of society and extreme disparities in class and privilege lead to the breakdown of society. Brilliantly told and acted, it was reminiscent of Hong Kong's demonstrations (masks and rebellion against power authorities), Escobar-like villainous anti-establishment virtue with a V-for-Vendetta flavour. The best film I've seen in a long time. Didn't think Heath could be outdone but it was. Here's to hoping the Batman franchise is reborn with the same realism and darkness thats always been a tad missing, even under Nolan's direction. This is adult, gritty, real comic which has deeper comments on society and needs to be the new standard in comic based film. Logan (Hugh Jackman's final Wolverine) comes a distant second after Joker.
