Oscar time

Rating: 9/10 (6 October 2019)

Joker. Can two actors win Oscar's for playing the same character? Hell. Yes. Joaquin Phoenix acts his arse off in this stunning cinematic tour de force. His portrayal of a man's descent into madness and violence truly equals, if not surpasses, Robert De Nero's Travis Bickle from Taxi Driver. This is hands down the best film Troy has seen this year. The recreation of '70s New York (Gotham City) was first rate, as was the score. Stunning. Five stars.
