Mind-blowing acting and superb directing. Joaquin Phoenix definitely should be given an Oscar for this one too. A visionary journey into the mind of a severely damaged psychotic. What he did earlier with the murders was exhaulted in Girl with the DragonTattoo. Here the anti-hero is constantly victimised. You can't help but deeply feeling for him as well as being terrified by what he might suddenly do. The movie shows great pathos, and exposes the hangers on that are the real psychopaths in this story. Arthur Fleck is brought to life through a fully exposed journey into his tortured mind, so revealing through his fantasies which he slides into and out of with ease. It was riveting from beginning to end. A truly outstanding movie. I can't wait to see it again.
