Roger Ebert

If you live to see Joaquin Phoenix go to performing extremes like nobody’s business, this movie really is the apotheosis of that.

The New York Times

‘Joker,’ an empty, foggy exercise in second-hand style and second-rate philosophizing, has none of that.

Variety

Phoenix’s performance is astonishing. He appears to have lost weight for the role, so that his ribs and shoulder blades protrude, and the leanness burns his face down to its expressive essence.

The Hollywood Reporter

While a never-better Joaquin Phoenix paints on the famed maniacal smile with his own blood at one memorable climactic moment of messianic rebirth, what’s most noteworthy about this gritty entry in the DC canon and the lead actor’s sensational performance is the pathos he brings to a pathetically disenfranchised character.

IGN

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.

Vox

Joker is a well-made movie, with a killer performance from Joaquin Phoenix, who seems born to play the role. But there’s nothing 'bonkers' about it.

The Guardian

Like Heath Ledger’s Oscar-winning turn in The Dark Knight, Joker has an ace card in the form of Joaquin Phoenix’s mesmerisingly physical portrayal of a man who would be king.

Vulture

I’m not arguing that Todd Phillips’s Joker will inspire killings, only that it panders to selfish, small-minded feelings of resentment and as such is profoundly boring.
