First Joker Movie Reactions Praise Film As A Masterpiece
Fans and press are finally getting their first look at Warner Bros. and DC's Todd Phillips helmed [...]
A Masterpiece
James Jones couldn't be happier about the film, calling it "funny, dark, beautiful, full of rage, and really f****** cool", and he really couldn't believe how good it was.
I can’t quite believe how good Joker is. It’s a masterpiece. Funny, dark, beautiful, full of rage, and really fucking cool. Joaquin Phoenix is masterful and every shot is sublime. #Venezia76

Makes you realize quite how boring Brad Pitt’s spaceman is.

De Niro in Joker v Pacino in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is a lesson in how to/how not to use a big star in a minor role. #Venezia76

Jones also pointed out how it expertly used a big name star like De Niro as opposed to another film using a similarly big-name star.

prevnextA Triumph
Lorenzo Ciorcalo calls the film "the Joker we f****** deserve", and has nothing but great things to say about Joaquin Phoenix's performance.
#Venezia76 The #Joker we fucking deserve. Rings of comedy, rings of fire. It's a circus, it's a carnival, it's a mayhem. Phoenix brings us dancing through this social disease and it's a triumph. #JokerMovie

prevnextIt Is Gnarly
Alex Billington says there will be an era before Joker and one after, and honestly can't believe this movie got made and exists.
There will be before Joker. And there will be after Joker. I don't know if the world is ready for this movie. Or maybe it is? It is GNARLY. It is crazy. It is audacious. It doesn't hold back. Wow. I can't believe it exists. But it does. And it's coming.

prevnextThe Last Hurdle
Jak-Luke Sharp has nothing but compliments for Phoenix's performance as Joker, calling it "phenomenal" and "dark, gritty & f****** crazy". That said, for Sharp, the movie doesn't quite clear the final hurdle.
#Joker Pheonix is phenomenal. Dark, gritty & fucking crazy. More on the lines of Mean Streets than Taxi Driver. It all looks to be serving a masterclass but Phillips stumbles in the last hurdle with the film not knowing if it wants to stand alone or be enticed by lore #Venezia76 pic.twitter.com/tB2QlBeQrm

Olivier Sarbil can't deal with how great Phoenix's performance is in the movie, and sees Oscars in the future.

Radek Folta says the film will "surprise the hell out of people", and offers a "brutal origin story". As for Phoenix, Folta calls it another "iconic performance".
“Bring in the clowns!!!” 🤡 #Joker will surprise the hell out of people. Dark, twisted, brutal origin story of the most recognised villain in popular culture. Joaquin Phoenix adds another iconic performance to his extraordinary career #Venezia76

prevnextAll Hail Joaquin Phoenix
Roles like Joker don't come up all the time, but when they do you have to seize the opportunity, and for International Film Critique, Phoenix certainly did.
#JokerMovie is the type of film that defines an actor's career, type of role & character that comes once in a lifetime. Heath Ledger's #Joker redefined the character, but Phoenix cements it as one of the greatest, darkest villains in cinematic history. All hail Joaquin Phoenix!
