Review of Joker (2019) by Nauticalmiles — 06 Oct 2019
Impressive to the very end. A very welcome diversion from the traditional comic book movie, this film choosing to focus on heavy character nuance and symbolism instead of a battle between heroes and villains.
This type of story could sound boring, but Phoenix's spectacular performance coupled with brilliant writing (despite the occasional odd scene) make this idea work wonderfully. Every minute this movie has you right where it wants, and like the character it's named after, the film will always keep you guessing.
