Heartbreaking, terrifying, powerful, riveting, masterfully crafted from start to finish. โJokerโ is less comic book and more homage to a 70โs rendering of the traumatic path that leads to the Jokerโs arising. It relentlessly exposes us to the hopelessness and pain that lead people with absolutely no resources or positive influences to lash out at individuals and society. But be warned: in spite of its perfect execution of a darkly powerful origin story, you will leave the theater heavy, anxious, and if you feel disenfranchised yourself, even more angry at the world.
