The best Joker acting since Jack Nicholson. So deep and detailed emotion expressions. Dancing scenes absolutely gorgeus. Real masterpiece of 2019!

I did not think anyone else could do Joker justice after Heath Ledger's portrayal, but Joacquin Phoenix is right up there. Of course, the comparison is a little unfair seeing as Phoenix for the majority of the film is not playing "the Joker", he plays Arthur Fleck. He only becaomes the Joker very late on. His speech at the ennding is mesmorising. You can literally see Fleck become the Joker in just 2 lines. Expand

HOW MUCH I WAS MADE! The film is not good. It's just delicious and one of the best I've ever seen! There is probably no need to introduce the character Joker, who has been in DC for years, but we have never seen such a soul as Joaquin Phoenix gave this character. The film has an excellent atmosphere, wonderful work with the camera and the overall quality is at a huge level. I apologize to all the Dark Knight Joker fans, but for me this was the best Joker and will probably stay forever. This was a well-deserved Oscar for Phoenix, like nothing. MUST-SEE film. Expand

It is actually art, it creates beauty, not just entertainment. Right after the first scene, it made me think of the opening scenes in (Tarkovsky's) Andrei Rublev where the town jester succombs to melancholy (and the Tartar horde) amid the utter despair of the Russian folks. The Joker is the face of human spirit resisting and subliming nihilism, just like Rublev's bellboy is, despite having to go very different routes.
Phoenix is phenomenal. He makes De Niro's acting look wooden and, simply, bad, in the only weak scene of the film. So-called professional critics should take a good look in the mirror to see if they have the same courage to face the truth the Joker reveals about all of us.

Joker) mixed with the acceptance of himself. you can't really predict where the movie is going to take you, but that's the point. There's no hero and villain, this is not a standard comic book movie as it's closer in "style" to Birdman than to The Dark Knight. The idea here is to build a character, is to give a reason and an explanation to the mysteriousness of the Joker's past.
The role of the joker is one the most serious (pum kind of intended) nowadays and requires a lot of dedication from the actor as well as the writers and directors (otherwise you get Suicide Squad Joker) as you need to feel in the shoes of Heath Ledger and Jack Nicholson and although I don't believe Joaquin Phoenix's Joker is the best here, he did his research and really commited to the role and the result was so good that it's worth being mentioned alongside these names.
Joker is not a perfect masterpiece, but it's worth every Oscar nomination it got, especially for best actor. I definitely recommend watching this movie.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. We all know critic reviews are worthless. Most critic sites are paid off to give good reviews, which is something everyone has been aware of for a long time.

The movie is fantastic. Its too real. We see a seriously mentally ill man being cast aside by society. After losing his access to therapy and medication, we see him slowly descend into darkness. The tone of the movie is largely dark and sinister. The turning point is when he decides to commit suicide. The elated giddiness of an mentally ill person finally making this decision is only relatable for someone who has gone through the same thing. He takes power into his own hands. The music and lighting becomes more cheery. The second turning point is near the end, when he realizes once he has taken the power back over his life and finally feels happy, he no longer wants to die.

He felt ignored by society and once he takes a stand against the absurdity of it, he sees there are other people just like him. They see him. The negative reviews are by the exact same people the movie is calling out. Or they expected another generic action movie and got a dark drama.

This movie didn't have to be about Joker. It honestly takes away from it. I'd say that is the only flaw. The writing and attention to detail is fantastic. Joaquin Phoenix is fantastic. Just watch the movie, its great.

Yes it takes inspiration of today's news like many movies took inspiration of their present. Is it the movie of the century ? No. Is it a really good movie ? Yes. Phoenix delivers once again (but he's been an amazing actor for a long time !). Todd Phillips came a long way from Very Bad Trip (which was also neurotic and chaotic ... so maybe he was the right director !). The rest of the cast is solid but not a lot of on-screen time (but hey, the movie is about one person).

The script, the music, the picture, there are really no false note ! My biggest thumbs up is to have re-imagined a story many times told in an intelligent way. We all know who is Joker and what he'll be... still, we spend the movie stressed by the built up. Go see it, it's worth it.

What do you get when you cross a mentally ill loner with a society that abandons him and treats him like trash?

Joaquin’s performance was immersive as always. I liked the movie. It’s pretty much what you’d expect from the trailers so if you’re already triggered by those I’d advise you not to see it. Once you realize it’s just a movie though it’s pretty damn good. Also, no this movie is not going to “make people act like the joker” wtf? Whoever says that is retarded. The only people “acting like the joker” are mentally ill people and I’m sorry to break it to you but a movie will not give you a mental illness. Expand

The film's cinematography, acting and visuals are excellent, together along with the mesmerizing score. It is also a great character study of a mentally ill man who struggles with how he's mistreated on a daily basis and humiliated in the worst ways possible, whilst taking care of his sick mother. It may not be wholly original, however it pushes the industry to a new level of cinematography and storytelling. Expand

The movie itself was good but I didn't find it as great as many say like being one of the greatest movies this year. It was good but the story seemed a bit predictable and for me also missing some action. Good movie though

Masterpiece movie of the decade to influence generations.
Joker is a Traumatizing psychological drama/thriller that puts the spotlight on a comic book villian called joker.
Though the movie is inspired by the comic world which is imaginary, the movie feels real and authentic. Unlike other comic book movies which are filled with CGI and animation, joker uses story over action.
The movie is about arthur fleck (joaquin phoenix), a middle aged, miserable, poor standup comedian who suffers from mental problems and lives with his old mother.
He lives in gotham city where the people are cruel, emotionless and awful. Arthur is lonely and helpless yet he tries to be a good human being by sending positive energy and trying to make the people laugh and smile but the others are so wicked, merciless, enraged and furious they don't even accept him and make him feel worse by bullying, beating and abandoning him. Imagine what happens when a victim of society runs out of patience and turns extremely evil. The atposphere of the film is quite dark and the pace of the movie is a little slow in the beginning but as we go forward in the story it goes faster and faster just like a roller coaster.
The music and soundtracks used in the movie are perfectly in place and completely related to the theme of movie.
The climacteric of the movie is joaquin phoenix's fabulous and oscar worthy acting , where he delivers the sense of the film in the best way possible.
Joker might be one of the darkest movies made in decades but definitely deserves to be watched with patience and attention because it's one of the few movies that besides giving audience entertainment it tries to make people think.

Coming back to this film after being awakened, Joker is the antihero we need. He is incredibly broken, how he goes from clown with nothing to live for where society beats him at every corner, an outsider and on the verge of finding his placeComing back to this film after being awakened, Joker is the antihero we need. He is incredibly broken, how he goes from clown with nothing to live for where society beats him at every corner, an outsider and on the verge of finding his place in the world.

This film was ahead of it's time, and many would not get it unless they have been deprogrammed.

It's also plays on wrongthink... you almost feel as if everything wrong in your life can be solved by living through the Joker. Somebody says something stupid that you don't agree with? Laugh at them.

There hasn't been a successful villain/anti-hero film since Taxi Driver.

Joaquin Pheonix's performance is absolutely incredible and he should win an Oscar for it. The score is also great. The dialogue was good but I feel as though that it was overly long and that some scenes should've been cut entirely like the scene where Joker is dancing in the washroom. Some characters also didn't need to be in the movie at all and that's disheartening. The movie brings up tons of great questions however and I've been thinking about it ever since I left the theatre. This movie gets a recommendation from me. I would avoid this one if you don't enjoy disturbing content because this movie is more disturbing than most horror movies from the past ten years.

Overall, my current score is 8.5/10 but since Metacritic won't let me add a decimal to my score, it displays a score of 8/10. I might change my personal score to a 9/10 however. To not confuse you any further, this movie is not lower than an 8 but it's not higher than a 9.
