Review of Joker (2019) by Radixlecti84 — 05 Nov 2019
Joker is a fantastic character piece that takes place just outside of the Batman universe, it is very clearly inspired by other sources such as Batmans "The Killing Joke" and movies like "Taxi Driver".
The story follows (Ben) Arthur Flecks descent from a deranged recluse to an unhinged murderous lunatic with a cult following. This film uses current world issues to add plausibility to it's story, you never quite find yourself empathizing with Arthur, but you can understand how he gets to be the Joker and why.
Joaquin Phoenix's performance is fantastic in this movie, you really can't help but think of how short changed Jared Leto must be feeling right now. The acting is great, the story is captivating if now a little slow at points and the cinemetography is gorgeous.
