Intense, haunting, surreal, memorable.

Rating: 10/10 (13 October 2019)

Joaquin's performance as the Joker is mesmerizing. Throughout this movie, the music score and Joaquin dance in tandem as they deliver a character development so authentic and provoking empathy that it'll stick onto you for a long time after watching.
The plotline follows Arthur, whose difficult social standing and mental issues push him towards grittier and more dangerous scenarios, resulting into a beautiful and yet horrifying character evolution. Some of the scenes may seem surreal and fantastical, which suggests an even deeper introspection into the main character, showing occasionally how he sees the world rather than how it actually is. It delivers a message that is more personal rather than political.
The movie is also not as violent as some people have claimed. The portrait the media and some critics have painted of the movie doesn't exactly reflect what the audience has to say.
I recommend this movie to anyone looking for a quality movie experience of 2019.
