Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Joker (2019)

If this movie were just about a damaged guy with a rare disorder and delusions of talent, would anyone be praising it? Or would that clear the smoke and allow the masses to see that this is an over-the-top fetishization of misery? Slap the name "Joker" on a marquee and people lose their collective shit lining up to praise this tortured piece of cinematic ugliness and drudgery. I don't think it's honest.
