Review of Joker (2019) by Yoursugabumps — 05 Oct 2019

I've always had an affinity for Batman movies, even the bad ones. But, this wasn't a "Batman" movie, obviously, and I read no reviews and went in with no expectations, except one. I was postive that they picked the wrong guy for the Joker.

I was hilariously wrong. Joaquin Phoenix's performance was unmercifully perturbing and left me, for the first time, connecting with a criminally insane character, whose makeup is far more complex than that of a murderous clown.

This depiction of the Joker could stand all on its own, and maybe will. But, after leaving the theater, I have a desire not to leave the transcience of this sorrowful film there.
