Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (5 October 2019)

Joker is a masterpiece, an emotional and bold character piece that works extremely well as an origin story for it's title character. Joaquin Phoenix gives an incredible performance that's extremely committed and undoubtedly one of his best and also definitely worthy of an oscar. All the supporting performances are brief but effective, with Robert De Niro giving the best supporting performance. It's extremely well paced and beautifully filmed. The direction by Todd Philips is excellent and proves he can do much more than just comedies. The musical score is incredible as well the soundtrack which works perfectly.
