Re: Joker (2019)

Art is subjective but to imply that one cannot be objective about anything is incorrect. A film critic is meant to judge the merits of the film based on the quality of the filmmaking, not based on their social or political views. For instance, consider the difference between a reporter and a commen...

Re: Joker (2019)

EW negative review of the film: "A movie with the message this one hammers home again and again... feels too volatile, and frankly too scary, to separate from the very real violence committed by young men like Joaquin Phoenix's Arthur Fleck in America almost every day."

Re: The Batman (2021)
