I did a double feature of these incredible films over the weekend and I wanted to get your opinion on which film is superior.
I am a big time fan of both of these films so much and imo they both share a lot of similarities thru out .
Both of the leads (played brilliantly by Joaquin Phoenix as Arthur Fleck aka Joker and Jake Gyllenhaal as Lou Bloom) are total outcast loners that have big time issues and aren't good people at all (which adds to the appeal imo) . Both films featured great character studies that were so out of left field..
There is no wrong answer here but in the end I feel that Joker just gets even better on re watches and Phoenix received a well deserved Oscar win for Best Actor in his portrayal of Arthur Fleck/Joker.
Joker (9/10)
Nightcrawler (8.5/10)
