Review of Joker (2019) by Dafragsta — 14 Oct 2019
The critics have never been more wrong. There are so many ways this could've been a disaster but it was pulled off really well. It has a lot of the melancholy origin Joker from A Killing Joke with a legitimately good story about someone on the bubble of being a functional adult with major mental health problems in a world that throws people away.
It has some of it's own subplots that are unique to this telling of the Joker's origin. It's a far better origin story than the old "vat of chemicals" routine and it's made with the pacing of a serious movie.
It's not a non-stop sizzle reel.
