Filmspotting: Reviews & Top 5s   /     From the Archive: The Joker (2019)

Description

Between its late-August premiere at the Venice Film Festival (where it won the festival's top prize) and its release in theaters here in the States, Todd Phillips' JOKER provoked every possible response, with some calling it among the best films of the year and others calling it the absolute worst โ€“ not to mention the much-discussed fears that the movie was "dangerous." No surprise then that when Adam and Josh finally got around to seeing it, they split โ€“ not just on the film itself, but on everything from the film's score to star Joaquin Phoenix's take on the iconic villain.
