A lot of laughs & victory dances by Joaquin.

Rating: 9/10 (8 October 2019)

This is a dark and twisted take on this iconic character. I love the approach Todd took with this character. No this is not a world building comic book film; this film is a character study on a tragic character that was abandoned from society at a young age and turned into a twisted psychopath. Joaquin is Arthur and is so lifelike I felt as if I was watching a found footage film. And yes I'm aware this is not a found footage film but you know what I mean. I love the twist in this film and how it dove deeper into his illness. We are viewing a disturbing individual that has many internal problems and I feel the cinematography compliments the world Arthur is viewing. You are viewing a colorfully dark picture which is what I feel Arthur is viewing daily. Arthur is fighting between colorful (positive) and dark (negative) emotions. There is not much plot in this film but the psychological illness this character brings fixes the lack of story. The ending does go on a little too long but nevertheless it just adds to this iconic character!
