An unnerving masterpiece

Rating: 9/10 (13 October 2019)

'Joker' is an excellent character-piece on a man that gets beaten down in his world and changes into a terrifying symbol for others. Joaquin Pheonix's portrayal is unforgettable, carrying the film and making the character feel as real as possible. Though the movie may be slow for some, it is necessary to show all the events that are necessary to transform a character in this manner. The film is a must-watch due to Joaquin's portrayal of this classic character. An excellent performance, stunning cinematography, and stylistic score makes this film great.
