Do yourself a favor and see this film alone. This is an experience you should see with no distractions. Joker is a 'comic book' movie that is simply just a piece of art. You see the destruction of a man; no sympathy of strings attached. The fall of ones diminished sanity is truly disturbing, and the film makes you uncomfortable and squirm... as it is intended. The film feels like a dream in the mind of Arthur, but a nightmare for those around him. It is a slow burn, similar to the films of the era it is emulating (the 70's) but the pay off is amazing. If you find yourself a lover of challenging art, and the myriad of stories about the most classic villain in all of story telling, then watch this epic masterpiece.
