    It tried too hard to make an artsy film out of an iconic villian. It was weird and awkward but not in a good way. I'm glad I didn't pay to see this in theaters.

    just let a mad man be a mad man. maybe lay off the medical issues, but the environment and feelings this movie displays with joaquin’s performance definitely make this a must watch and great film.

    Embora Coringa tenha inspiração no clássico O Rei da Comédia, ele consegue construir sua própria identidade e inovar ao trazer uma maneira diferenciada de contar histórias de super-heróis. Sem dúvidas um marco na história do cinema contemporâneo.

    The genius of a mentally unstable character in a world that could happen tomorrow🤡 The strength of Joker's (2019) film is still, above all, Joaquin Phoenix as the Joker. The character is emotionally charged and disturbingly authentic. Phoenix's body language, voice and facial expressions take us deep into the mysterious and painful world of Arthur Fleck. Phoenix so immersed himself in the character that this is reflected in interviews years after the film was made. Let's hope that only in his mind is the character still in action. When it comes to why it's simply brilliant the answer lies in the fact that most of the film is based on a worldview through the eyes of a maniac. He does evil and is evil but doesn't realise it himself. But aren't there people like that around us in everyday life? In a sense, the Joker is right. Who is competent enough to say what a comedy is. If we ourselves laugh at something inappropriate on a daily basis then we too can feel the mockery of others. However, why do these people have the right to say what and how things should be. In the film directed by Todd Phillips, the story was also very thought provoking. When you look at the madness that a member of a downward spiralling society, who no one cares about, has to deal with, you start to think to yourself, what are my behaviours when I see a 'different' person. You never know what problems a stranger has to deal with both mentally and physically. The Joker is also a visually striking film. Gotham City is portrayed in a dark and decadent tone that has a chilling effect. The film's cinematography, set design and costumes create a tense atmosphere that fully engages the viewer. However, this is the film's biggest problem. It is too focused on one character and the acting of the supporting cast leaves a lot to be desired. Personally, I am a big Robert De Niro fan, but this was definitely not one of his strongest roles.

    Magnificent, showing the weaknesses of society, we are awful, and we shouldn't be, we should have decency. This film perfectly shows the actual consequences of a lack of kindness in this world.

    Loved it ! A must see. Has a Taxi Driver vibe at times .

    Too nihilistic for me. Arthur has no redeeming qualities to him. Are we supposed to feel sorry for him? Are you supposed to pity him? I didn't. Completely mindless violence. The only scene in the movie I liked was when he murders Randall. Other than that scene, I was bored.
