In my opinion, one of the best films of the year. It won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival. Scorsese's touch in the production is evident. Director Phillips does the rest and improves. Enchanting scenes, gothic in representation, it goes beyond the origins of the character. Joaquin Phoenix is perfect. There is also a clear message towards the system.

Joaquin Phoenix’s amazing performance alone is enough to make it a good film.
"The city is burning, isn’t it beautiful?" captures the film's dangerous yet captivating social critique.

Every morning in Gotham City when the sun rises, a man wakes up and dies. Arthur Fleck is already dead.
If Joaquin Phoenix doesn’t win the Oscar with this film, I don’t know what more he has to do to get that damn statuette he’s been trying to win for years now.

Joker is a mask of pain and marginalization, he is the man pushed to the brink by a life of humiliations and illness.
He is the macabre spectacle in the mind of a lonely anti-hero, of an abandoned patient.

A predictable, utterly boring film that drags on tiredly without a spark, without a surprise, without a single plot twist!
How can anyone call this film a masterpiece and nominate it for 100,000 Oscar awards?
