   Is Joker a good movie?

   • Joker is an unkind movie, with audiences left to watch as Arthur Fleck is beaten down by the streets, the system, and his own mental health issues.

   Why is 'Joker' so poetic?

   • It’s the most poetic image to have emerged from Todd Phillips ’ “ Joker,” and the reason I say “poetic” isn’t just because the shot has that caught-in-action indelible vibe of a quintessential movie poster: graphic, hauntingly composed, a bit shocking (at least, the first time you see it). It’s poetic because of what it means.

   What did Todd Phillips say about Joker?

   • Todd Phillips' comments come from the director's commentary included in Joker 's home release. Joker is a movie unlike anything else from the comic book genre, as Phillips didn't include any heroes, costumes, or action. Instead the movie follows an unreliable narrator, one whose sad and lonely existence fostered the rise of The Joker.
