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 fantasy of revolt, he is the violence in the moral metropolitan ruins, he is the degradation of a civilization, he is the comedy in times of ruins, he is the macabre spectacle in the mind of a lonely anti-hero, of an abandoned patient.
Exploited, repressed, trampled on, hated.
Ridiculed, whipped, frustrated, beaten, robbed.
Emaciated, downgraded, subdued, disintegrated.
Arthur is an only child.
I love you, Arthur.

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.

One of the best films of the year.
Joaquin Phoenix is perfect.

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?
