Joker (2019)
Director: Todd Phillips
Watched: 11/9/19 (In Theaters)
Rating: 4/5
Still no Heath Ledger,
but it’s Joaquin Phoenix’s
best performance yet.
Slip into his world-
dark disturbing delusion;
a mental decline.
Origin story
turned social commentary-
detours from comics.
Class, race, politics.
Mental health, mass media.
Glorification?
Craftily lures viewers in-
but fun’s not on the docket.
