Okay… So, call this movie “Being Arthur Fleck” and it would have been fine. But you called it Joker and Joker never, ever appears. I feel gaslit into watching this movie.
I feel like Todd Philips wanted to make a musical but chickened out somewhere during the process. The songs just come off as interruptions and curtails all momentum the scene has. It’s like half musical/half not, which serves neither audience.
With that said, great performances and not a bad…
