Brilliant movie elegantly bordering between mass cinema and films d'auter

Rating: 9/10 (17 January 2020)

The tons of hype around this anticipated novelty pushed me away from watching this movie as soon as it came out. It seemed to be enormously overrated but surprisingly turns out isn't from here at all. Honestly, not being a big fan of typical action-filled superhero movies, I exprected a lot of empty pathos and pretentiousness. Though, in fact, this movie is much deeper than it was inherently expected.
Joker is an unbearable tragedy. The story of a true man who are constantly struggling for the right to be a valued member of society. Joker is about something deeply personal. It reveals all the scariest expressions of mental instability, non-acceptance and isolation. But it is little wonder that the consequences of social attitude to the people with mental illnesses will be surely reflected someday in such ways like it was shown in the movie. There is actually nothing wrong with Arthur Fleck - there is something wrong with society. Therefore, it is significant to feel a responsibility for each person we are talking to, every action we are making and even every thought that comes up in our mind.
Undoubtedly, I wish to note the weird brilliance of Joaquin performance - remarkably my own personal discovery of the year. Perfect.
