Joker

Translated from swedish: "Joker" is a masterpiece in a league of its own. It is so good that words fail me, and I just want to scream out my appreciation. It is, as I said, bloody and horrible, but still beautiful in its melancholy. This is a film that makes the hairs on your arms stand up at attention and salute the perfection I have just had the honor to behold.

Translated from swedish: The suggestive photograph, the perfect dramaturgy, the multidimensional characters, the gloomy and realistic depiction of the city, people living on the periphery, and Fleck's fascinating journey from a naive person who does not believe in violence to a violent psychopath are a delight for the eyes and the soul. In all its complexity, "Joker" tries to tell us something important about today's society.

Translated from swedish: This is something entirely unique and it became so dark and uncomfortable at times that I felt uneasy myself. It is gloomy and depressing, and many will certainly question the film's morals and why it even exists.

Translated from swedish: Joaquin Phoenix a single tormented darkness in "Joker"

Translated from swedish: The profit is entirely Phoenix's merit, the other characters and roles are mostly just there as a reflection of or explanation for Arthur Fleck's mental state.

Translated from swedish: After watching the movie, I realize that more than many other movies, this one will divide the audience into two camps. Those who completely hate it and those who completely love it.

Translated from swedish: For the first time in film history, a superhero movie lives up to the hype - but then again, it's not a traditional superhero movie.

Translated from swedish: "Joker" shows us a Gotham where the weakest still have no champion. The title character is one of these people, a man who just wants to be happy, but is so broken that his transformation into the unknown villain seems inevitable.

Translated from swedish: Joaquin Phoenix presents a "one-man show" so impressive that the film's other actors fade into the background.
- Mats Johnson

Translated from swedish: The violence in the deeply engaging and highly suggestive "Joker" is unpleasant and disturbing. And Joaquin Phoenix embodies his mentally disturbed man so convincingly that one feels more empathy and pity for him when he completely goes off the rails.
- Jan-Olov Andersson

Swedish: aftonbladet.se »

Translated from swedish: This is pop culture of importance, a film that whether we like it or not, explains something about the present. The film's alternative 1981, where the arrogance of the elite creates unmanageable aggression, is after all not so distant from our own time.
- Oscar Westerholm

Translated from swedish: The message that the criminal is a product of societal evil, and not the other way around, could not have been hammered in more clearly. But the film is nonetheless part of the strongly traditional superhero genre, where a certain predictability is part of the form.

Translated from swedish: With the actual content of the film as evidence, no one can claim that "Joker" really has a philosophical argument, a coherent portrayal or a thematic thread. Like too many modern films, it suffers from its pathological phobia of ideas.
