~~I'll let you know how it goes~~

FINAL IMMEDIATE OPINION (Just finished)

As a DC fan of course the ending was not what I was looking for. But as a movie, I think it was okay. The end seemed rushed, like they realized they had a 4-hour movie on their hands and had to finish it now. I didn't quite get the motivation or the conflict that led Arthur to claiming his identity and taking blame in the end.

I like it from a filmography point of view, musical choices are great, the fantasy life of Arthur Fleck was fleshed out well and made sense of the narrative. 6.5-7 out of 10, and I think the director or writer whatever he was is very talented and is going to have a lot of future. But no this will not be a director for DC comics.

I also wondered, is Lee dead after the phone message and he just fantasies the rest? I'm guessing the director left that up to interpretation.
