The Clown Prince of Crime

Rating: 10/10 (4 October 2019)

I saw this in a cinema in Sheffield, England. I have never seen an audience applaud a film at the end of viewing in a cinema - until now.
An excellent character analysis, showing why a man would turn into a monster.
Disturbing, thrilling, intense. Heath Ledger's joker was incredible, and I may be getting caught up in the hype of experiencing this film for the first time, but I believe Joaquin Phoenix's joker is the standard that all other Joker's will be compared too from now on.
Whether you're a comic book fan or not, a fan of the Joker character or not - this is a truly great film. A critique of modern society, a deep dive into severe depression, all in the back drop of the most famous comic book setting with the most iconic comic book villain of all time.
I cannot wait to see this film again.
