Laugh out loud funny and tragic.

Rating: 8/10 (29 November 2019)

First time I watched Joker I was influenced heavily by media commentry and the trailers to expect a dark gritty drama. I was very dissapointed at the trash script and "we live in a society" message.
However, after trawling through pandering review after review I found an interesting hot take...Joker is both a comedy and tragedy.
Second time I was prepared...to laugh and cry.
The jokes are EVERYWHERE. Meta-level jokes at the audience and Joker lore.
I laughed so much it probably made other people think I was watching a different movie.
PSA: watch Joker as part comedy part tragedy - you will laugh and be terrified in equal parts.
Best comedy in years.
