“””Joker has no idea how to get out of its protagonist’s head, even for a few seconds, which makes it tonally suffocating. I checked out of it.”””

Reading about the film I couldn’t figure out how it could be more than a magnifying glass on the life of a stunted, angry 14 yr old. Took a pass.

The SJW authors of the article above did not even get what the movie was conveying and they have the audacity of labeling themselves as film critics, lol.

Film goes way deeper than appeasing an angry, stunted 14 yr old. For starters it's a movie about a comic book character, that is a huge tell in understanding the point (Which isn't class warfare or "woe is me" angst) and plot twist.

I watched it, though sometimes I wish I hadn’t because it really got under my skin, it’s an inside take on an already mentally ill man and how he plunges into 100% insanity. It’s depressing, it’s illuminating (we find out where Joker’s laugh comes from) and it’s down right scary knowing there are folks out there right now, on medication to keep them balanced, who could very well turn after being off their meds for any amount of time. I think we saw a good example of that in Aurora, Colorado and Sandy Hook.
