Review of Joker (2019) by Gamelore — 07 Oct 2019
Wow, relatively uncontrived drama from a big Hollywood movie. When was the last time? This movie surely slipped under the studio's radar. Almost like they knew it was a gamble and green-lit total creative freedom.
Fantastic! The soundtrack, both original and licensed, the setting, the pacing, the scene composition, the dialog and the story were all excellent. I'm not sure the actor was the best fit for Joker, but he did a great job regardless.
He hit the somber lows really well, and the lows were necessary fuel for the Joker's highs that he performed satisfactorily. There was still slight room for improvement, but not enough to push it out of the 10/10 slot: the movie could have ended 5 minutes earlier and been more subtle in a few places, almost like the director is asking "Did you get it? Let me explain it for some of you", but overall, this goes well beyond expectations for a comic book movie.
