Joker
Tonight, we escaped from the kids, and took an adventure to the cinema.
We saw Joker.
Holy smokes.
I saw the trailer when it first came out and thought it looked dark as hell and super gritty.
I sort of forgot about it, for a good while.
I got the immediate impression of the tone being a pinch of Taxi Driver, meets Fight Club, meets Falling Down.
And then lately, it came to the cinemas and it was all anyone talked about.
So I said to my wife @radicalpears that if there’s one film we need to actively make an effort to go an see at the cinema (rather than a DVD) before it goes out of circulation, it’s Joker.
We watched it in an almost empty cinema.
It was incredible.
It was a true stripped back ‘film experience’ in the best way.
It was no-frills brilliant story telling, with long held shots, limited use of music, utterly moving performances, with constant suspense and the rare dash of action, and splash of very dark comedy.
THIS is filmmaking.
I want to go and see it again.
I have been meaning to see the movie for a while now. It sounds really good. That's awesome that you saw in an almost empty theater. That's my kind of movie watching. Much better then having some stranger pressed up against you.

Go see it. It’s very powerful.
Not long now until it’s going to be pushed out of the theatres to be replaced by Frozen 2!
Frozen 2 (here at the Odeon) is taking over the majority of the screens and has sold out a week in advance! It’s nuts.
I have not seen it yet, but based on your review...I think I agree it's a must see. Sounds like they mailed this one dear brother! I never watch T.V. and rarely have the time to sit down to a movie. But i think I'm going to try my best to make it to this one. Thanks for the review🤗
Excellent. Yeah get to a cinema when you get the chance.
You’re right I need to go and see it before the new Christmas releases come out!
