Joker
“If it was me dying on the sidewalk you’d walk right over me. I pass you every day and you don’t notice me.”
Joaquin Phoenix makes Arthur’s laugh sound physically painful, and the tension when he finally sits across from Murray is incredible. The film lays on the misery a little too heavily, but Phoenix makes even the quiet scenes uncomfortable.
If anyone ever asks what Joaquin Phoenix is capable of, show them this movie.
