Review of Joker (2019) by Mark Kermode for The Observer (UK) — 06 Oct 2019
Subtlety is not Phillips’s strong point. What he does have is an eye for a well-chosen location, an ear for a provocative line of dialogue and a finger on the pulse of very marketable, confrontational (if also “cynical”) entertainment.
Add to this an incendiary central performance by Phoenix and Joker looks set to have the last laugh.
