Heartbreaking to watch. The Joker has been my favorite villain for a long time, and what got me here is that they finally showed the human side of him, how someone who started out good gets ground down and turned into something evil. It makes you sit with that question the whole way through.
Joaquin Phoenix’s performance is amazing; he carries the entire thing.
Saw it in the theater with a friend who was genuinely messed up by the time it ended. It’s heavy and dark and stays with you. 5/5.
