All we have are positive thoughts about the latest representation of the Clown Prince of Gotham. Todd Phillips shows he's more than the 'Hangover Guy' by slowly creeping under your skin as he shows a mentally ill man transform into one of the most beloved villains in existence. Joaquin Phoenix might as well have scales, a curly tail, and a three foot tongue because the man is a goddamn chameleon. He raises the bar on a character that has been played by some of the best actors of their generation. This standalone film is so subtle and detailed that a second watch is more than worth your while. Although dark and disturbing, Joker will definitely make you put on a happy face.

Sacré Bleu!
