#Joker: Wow. Joaquin Phoenix and Todd Phillips summon dark mojo for a descent into madness, for the origin story to beat all origin stories. Forget comic books -- this is disturbingly too close to modern alienation to be dismissed as mere fantasy. #TIFF19 pic.twitter.com/LfmcDfAwE7 — Peter Howell (@peterhowellfilm) September 10, 2019

This is interesting. Being asked a lot if #JoaquinPhoenix is “better” than Heath Ledger as the #Joker. Joaquin gets an entire movie. It’s not a fair comparison at all, and it’s wrong to even try to compare them. #TIFF19 pic.twitter.com/lmY4gIfwbh — Sean O'Connell (@Sean_OConnell) September 10, 2019

As you're no doubt already well aware, social media reactions and reviews coming out of Venice for Joker were overwhelmingly positive, and the same can be said for the DC Comics adaptation following the movie's debut at the Toronto International Film Festival.There's a lot of very interesting takes here, and it seems as if the parallels the film makes to what's going on in the real world are definitely problematic to some.That powerful message aside, though, it definitely sounds like director Todd Phillips and star Joaquin Phoenix are going to take us on one heck of a ride, even if it is extremely dark and messed up. Some clips from Joker actually leaked online overnight, and if they're anything to go by, Phoenix has to be in with a chance of receiving some serious awards attention next year.To check out this latest round of Joker reactions, simply click the "View List" button below!
