Brutal. Unnerving. Shocking.

Rating: 8/10 (5 October 2019)

This is more like mystic river, primal fear, higher learning or crash than a typical superhero movie. The acting was great. Maybe Oscar worthy. The movie kept me glued to my seat. It is too unnerving. I can't decide whether to pity or despise the Joker. He's crazy, but most people in Gotham are no saints.
I'm glad I did not take my 14 year old daughter to watch it, though. It's PG15, but it must have been just shy of getting an R.
Why the 8 instead of a10? Because I try to avoid movies this strong and stressing. I feel I was tricked into watching it. It's a great movie of the kind I'd almost rather not have watched.
