Critics Consensus: Joker gives its infamous central character a chillingly plausible origin story that serves as a brilliant showcase for its star -- and a dark evolution for comics-inspired cinema.
Metacritic: 75 (18 Reviews)
A dazzlingly disturbed psycho morality play, one that speaks to the age of incels and mass shooters and no-hope politics, of the kind of hate that emerges from crushed dreams. - Owen Gleiberman, Variety

Not to discredit the imaginative vision of the writer-director, his co-scripter and invaluable tech and design teams, but Phoenix is the prime force that makes Joker such a distinctively edgy entry in the Hollywood comics industrial complex. - David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter

Todd Phillips nails look and tone, mostly from other movies, in an R-rated origin that’s less than the sum of its parts - Alonso Duralde, TheWrap

Phoenix is all in and then some, a performance so dazzling risky and original you might as well start engraving his name on the Oscar right now. No joke, this is a movie — premiering today at the Venice Film Festival — unlike any other from the DC universe, and you will find it impossible to shake off. At least I did. - Pete Hammond, Deadline
Joaquin Phoenix's fully committed performance and Todd Phillips' masterful albeit loose reinvention of the DC source material make Joker a film that should leave comic book fans and non-fans alike disturbed and moved in all the right ways. - 10/10 Jim Vejvoda, *IGN

“Joker” is neither a game-changer nor just “another day in Chuckletown.” It’s both. It’s good enough to be dangerous, and bad enough to demand better. It’s going to turn the world upside down and make us all hysterical in the process. For better or worse, it’s exactly the movie the Joker would want. - David Ehrlich, Indiewire

"Joker" is a dark, brooding and psychologically plausible origin story, a vision of cartoon sociopathy made flesh. - Justin Chang, LA Times
Having brazenly plundered the films of Scorsese, Phillips fashions stolen ingredients into something new, so that what began as a gleeful cosplay session turns progressively more dangerous - and somehow more relevant, too. - 5/5 Xan Brooks, Guardian
Bold, devastating and utterly beautiful, Todd Phillips and Joaquin Phoenix have not just reimagined one of the most iconic villains in cinema history, but reimagined the comic book movie itself. - 5/5 Terri White, Empire

Superhero blockbuster this is not: a playful fireman's-pole-based homage to the old Batman television series is one of a very few lighthearted moments in an otherwise oppressively downbeat and reality-grounded urban thriller... - Robbie Collin, The Daily Telegraph
Phillips may want us to think he's giving us a movie all about the emptiness of our culture, but really, he's just offering a prime example of it. Stephanie Zacharek, Time Magazine

Nobody who sees this new film will ever need any other version. 5/5 David Sexton, London Evening Standard
As social commentary, Joker is pernicious garbage. 2/4 Glenn Kenny, RogerEbert.com

I've not always gotten along with Phoenix's mannered, muscle-strained approach to his craft, but here he makes a compelling case for going full-tilt. - Richard Lawson, Vanity Fair
