Bastion C Honestly, a great watch! Definitely not something for everyone, but if you're an artsy comic queer then you'll be right at home! It's so aware of itself and its audience, niche as it may be. If I had seen this film fifteen years ago, my egg would've cracked on the spot! It's so nice to feel so seen and so understood, and it's even better to be able to look back on the hardest parts and laugh! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/17/24 Full Review Ethan B Contrary to modern belief, not every movie must appeal to every audience -- The People's Joker absolutely revels in this, crafting a unique and stirring narrative that speaks deeply to the exact people that needed to hear it while leaving no room for misinterpretation. This movie's infamous debut, which tested the limits of American parody law in the face of sanitized corporate monoliths, served as a necessary wake-up call to the banality of prestige cinema. It is a movie that is simultaneously a heartfelt deconstruction of transgender identity and an unhinged nitro-fueled parody of classic Batman camp, a lovingly-crafted mess of a movie that could not have worked better any other way. Keep your greasepaint, Warner Bros: the people have their hero, and she's a real laugh riot.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/24/24 Full Review Jaret S Hilarious, sad, thought-provoking, heartwarming. Visually stunning. All the bright colors Gotham has been sorely missing since Schumacher. Multiple styles of animation, models, puppetry, and a great soundtrack, watching The People’s Joker is a stunning cinema experience. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/24/24 Full Review Dave C One of the best theater going experiences I've had in recent memory. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/24/24 Full Review Carson L The People's Joker breaks barriers of what a movie can and should be. It carries itself like a stage production with countless moments of personal direct address, mixed media collages, and punching-up humor skewering the bureaucracy behind the entertainment industry and the economic hellscape we're all navigating. These are difficult times to be queer and this movie serves to guide us toward the glimmers of hope just beyond our nose. It does bring with it an implied prerequisite of familiarity with specifics around the entertainment industry and batman cannon. But it never dives so deep that any one off the street might be confused. I laughed, I cried, I left wanting more but received everything I needed. There's never been a movie that's felt more catered to my tastes or spoke to my personal life experiences the way this film has. This movie, objectively, is not for everyone though. But it does carry messaging that everyone should hear. Because we as a people can have so much better from this world. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/24/24 Full Review Read all reviews
