Review: Joker (Spoiler Free)

“Joker” is an okay film that sandbags itself by not living up to the expectations for its namesake.

The film as a whole may have been okay had it not been set in the world of Batman. This film proves that we don’t need a Joker backstory. It also proves that the filmmakers have no idea how to handle mental illness.

​Joaquin Phoenix, Zazie Beetz, Robert De Niro, Marc Maron, Shea Wigham, Bill Camp, Brian Tyree Henry, and Frances Conroy star. Todd Phillips directs.
