Joker, 2019 - ★★★★

🎞️ | Via Letterboxd

Finnaly a comic book movie that requires a bit of critical thought. Went into this having read damn near 50/50 good and bad reviews. Which is a good sign, because it provoked reactions both ways. I enjoyed it a lot, looks great in a grim way, big Phoenix is fucking outstanding and the story despite a few nit picks was a fucking roller coaster.

I can see why people are worried about it glorifying violence (especially in the US) but I think these arguments ignore one frequently over looked aspect. You don’t always have to be on the side of the main character.
