JOKER doesn’t reinvent the comic book movie, but it’s certainly the scariest one — a taut psychological thriller w/a few horror movie twists. Joaquin Phoenix, though, yikes: Looks like he stepped out of THE CABINET OF DR CALIGARI, or maybe he’s still trapped there. Astounding.

Yes, JOKER could be misconstrued in some troubling ways that will require plenty of scrutinizing, but it’s engineered to interrogate lunacy from the inside out, which is a much subtler mission than, say, JOJO RABBIT. #TIFF19
