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.
