Very few movies have made me feel how Joker did. Rarely a tale of an unorthodox personality has been told this graphically, accurately, and uniquely. The film making team deserves full marks for being brave and attempting to portray what an anti-hero is all about through slick and stylish storytelling. Leadman Joaquin Phoenix gets under the skin of his character like a very few actors can. Having said all that it's nowhere near a perfect movie. Its dark, sickening at times, and the screenplay and script is something most people will not appreciate.
Highs: Acting is extraordinary especially form the lead. Dialogues are heavy and hit with real depth while trying to cover many different aspects. Music and screenplay add slyness to the film's arsenal and deserve a lot of credence.
Lows: The dark ambiance is really too much and even for the genre lovers this will feel extreme. The ending builds up well and explodes but sadly that feels more like a crash.
Rating: 4 ****
