I can’t say I enjoyed the movie but it made me think! It doesn’t excuse the Joker’s behavior and violence but allows us to see how his upbringing, genetics and how society treats him shapes the person he becomes. A prequel to the Batman movies as we meet the young Bruce Wayne and get a glimpse into what shaped him. One thing I did find very interesting was how some people in the audience laughed at what were very uncomfortable and confronting moments...very reflective of where our society is at in accepting mental illnesses, at present.
