Joaquin Phoenix was absolutely phenomenal as Arthur Fleck. Some of the best acting I’ve seen all year.
This was the most uncomfortable movie experiences I've had in awhile. A brutal dive into madness that was so bleak and yet so compelling. The score by Hildur Guðnadóttir helped set the tone tremendously. A melancholy tone with a chaotic twist. The cinematography was gorgeous and there’s a handful of shots that has imprinted into my memory. I like how they actually gave Thomas Wayne a character rather than “guy gets shot in alleyway”.
