Joaquin's Phoenix's performance as Joker is something that should not be missed, even if you find the rest of the movie not to your liking. He has brought something really new to this iconic character and his performance deserves to be discussed among best portrayals of the Joker up there with Mark Hamill and Heath Ledger.

The rest of the movie? Todd Phillips directs the film with talent, and grabs your attention through a slow burn movie. That is something to keep in mind, it is a very slow burn movie doesn't feature much action so keep that in mind if you're the type of person who doesn't enjoy slow burn movies.

Also while the media has way overhyped the controversy to this movie yes there are plenty of uncomfortable scenes bear that in mind. All in all I think Joker is one of the best films of the year. If your the type that enjoys a slow but gripping character drama with lots to say about society, mental issues, and features a unique take on a cultural icon than I cannot recommend Joker.
