Joker
horizontal line

Phoenix's Oscar-caliber, jaw-dropping performance dominates this dark, gritty, gripping, disturbing, violent, well-paced, star-dotted (Bill Camp, Brett Cullen, Shea Whigham, Brian Tyree Henry, Douglas Hodge, and Zazie Beetz), 122-minute psychological thriller with striking cinematography in which a mentally unstable, lonely, bullied, inappropriate laughter-prone, psychopathic, wannabe standup comedian (Joaquin Phoenix), who poses as a clown at different venues and cares for his eccentric mother (Frances Conroy), becomes increasingly unhinged and turns into a raging, cold-blooded killer in 1981 in Gotham City after thugs steal his sign and beat him up, much-needed therapy support is taken away due to government cuts and he stops his meds, he loses his job, and his television talk show host idol (Robert De Niro) makes fun of a video recording of his greenhorn standup routine at a comedy club while masked citizens rally in the chaotic streets in support of the clown vigilante.
