Joker - 7/10
As far as acting goes, it's a 10/10 for Joaquin Phoenix, he was sensational. I didn't really like was the whole tone of the film - really seemed to glorify the "downtrodden loner goes postal" character. I think they went out of the way to make him sympathetic, including the use of the Hollywood trope of making all the characters who are about to have something bad happen to them be shown in an unsympathetic light.
