Review
"A dazzlingly disturbed psycho morality play, one that speaks to the age of incels and mass shooters and no-hope politics, of the kind of hate that emerges from crushed dreams."--Variety"...Phoenix is the prime force that makes Joker such a distinctively edgy entry in the Hollywood comics industrial complex."--Hollywood Reporter"... a dark, brooding and psychologically plausible origin story, a vision of cartoon sociopathy made flesh."--Los Angeles Times

Summary
Warner Bros. Pictures presents Oscar nominee Joaquin Phoenix in the title role, alongside Oscar winner Robert De Niro, and the film is directed, produced and co-written by Oscar nominee Todd Phillips. The film centers around the iconic arch nemesis and is an original standalone story not seen before on the big screen. Phillips's exploration of Arthur Fleck, a man disregarded by society, is not only a gritty character study but also a broader cautionary tale
