Phillips made a brilliant choice in casting Phoenix, and then he was smart to know that the actor is so deep inside this role that everything he does, up to and including a homicidal rumba, feels right. Rating: 3/4

Joker is a bad movie, yes: It's predictable, clichéd, deeply derivative of other, better movies, and overwritten to the point of self-parody.
-Dana Stevens, Slate
Featuring a tour-de-force performance by Joaquin Phoenix, Joker is a rare comic book film that actually surprises. Rating: 4/5
-David Harris, Spectrum Culture
Everything that captivates us about Arthur is inevitably forgotten and everything he becomes is beholden to familiar tropes. It does look great, but I left feeling nothing. Rating: 5/10
