A hodgepodge of movies

Rating: 3/10 (14 December 2019)

It was a terrible hodgepodge of previous movies. The camera following Joker through the corridors and on stage is directly from Birdman where the director is a wannabe Inarritu. Joaquin Phoenix who has acted in Quills along-with Geoffrey Rush tried to imitate Rush but failed miserably. The stairs scene and the death of ailing mother along-with mother-son relationship and the apartment was a ditto copy of 1973 Exorcist. Other copycat scenes from Taxi Driver, Network, Shining (toilet father-son episode), etc. Tod Philips might have earned a lot of money but it was an appalling reproduction of previous movies.
