Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.
Read from 67 comments (48 from Metacritic, 19 from TMDB reviews) — 13 of them described how it moves.
➖ steady — Holds one level all the way. Pulled both ways throughout — never simply one thing. Very little of it ever resolves.

“The movie’s captivating from the get-go and practically everything works for a broodingly superb cinematic experience. There are several amusing bits, but this ain’t a fun flick. It’s heavy and tragic.”
Wuchak · TMDB reviews ↗
“This guy starts as a useless sobbing nutcase and he ends the movie as the same useless sobbing nutcase. The movie has NOTHING to do with the real Joker. It is a blatant attempt to garner support for a unrelated psychopathic thriller by using the Joker name”

“I adored every second of this”

“Too bad we don't get to enjoy Phoenix as Joker more, though, because pretty soon after the turning point, the movie ends.”

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“Featuring a riveting, fully realized, and Oscar-worthy performance by Joaquin Phoenix, Joker would work just as well as an engrossing character study without any of its DC Comics trappings; that it just so happens to be a brilliant Batman-universe movie is icing on the Batfan cake. You will likely leave Joker feeling like I did: unsettled and ready to debate the film for years to come.”
Jim Vejvoda, IGN · 100
“More character study than comic book movie, and anchored by an Oscar-worthy Joaquin Phoenix, Joker is a bravura blockbuster that proves you don’t need superpowered scraps to dazzle.”
Jordan Farley, Total Film · 100
“Joaquin Phoenix is devastating as the villain-in-the-making in this incendiary tale of psychological escape and psychopathy.”
Phil de Semlyen, Time Out · 100
“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.”
Terri White, Empire · 100
“Phoenix has created a masterful performance for a film which itself feels like a masterpiece: a cracked masterpiece.”
John Bleasdale, CineVue · 100
