Phenomenal performance by Joaquin Phoenix

Rating: 10/10 (12 October 2019)

I don't write film reviews but my experience watching 'Joker' compelled me to share how profound I thought Joaquin Phoenix's performance was.
For the record, I hate comic book/superhero films. I am drawn to character based, mostly independent studio film making. This film is a heart wrenching depiction of mental illness and society's intolerance of it. Every second Joaquin's complex depiction of this character is flawless. In fact, I will boldly say it's the best acting I have every witnessed. Second to Joaquin's performance is the brilliant composer's score throughout this film. Both deserve every award and critics' praise.
