I am saddened for Joaquin, who endured an arduous and intense process in preparing for this film physically and mentally, as this film has received such poor reviews.
If viewers were expecting a purely entertaining portrayal of Joker and Harley, disappointment is inevitable. These films explore dark, uncomfortable themes, pushing boundaries that make audiences feel unsettled.
This discomfort is central to their brilliance, balanced by the dichotomy of a fantastical world, portrayed with exceptional acting. These films are not merely for entertainment; they are about education in the real challenges of trauma and mental health.
