brilliant!!! One of the best movies of this decade!

Rating: 10/10 (13 October 2019)

I created an imdb account only to give this movie a 10/10 because I really disagree with the negative critics. A brilliant, dark, disturbing and moving masterpiece of a movie that makes you think and question your definitions of good and bad. Unlike the opinion of the critics, the fact that the movie uses the character of the joker to connect a comic personality to the complex development of mental illness and to hold a mirror in front of the problems of today's society is exactly what makes this movie so brilliant to me.
And then there is the outstanding and brilliant acting performance by Joaquin Phoenix. It feels like he put 200% of himself into this role and he portrays the highly complex levels of mental illness and the character development of Arthur Fleck slowly becoming the Joker in an outstanding way. Brilliant performance that truly felt like art, this is what real acting should be like. Hands down deserves to win the Oscar for this!
Go and watch the movie! Unless you want to see a Joker action flick ;-)
