I saw Joker with the wife in Spain. It's really difficult to get her to the movies since she's more of a horror movie (they call it terror films in Spain) buff but she was excited for Joker.
We both loved it. I felt really bad for Arthur Fleck during the movie and the wife and I cringed at the comedy scene. One thing I found interesting is that when you see his card and his notebook, they filmed it in Spanish for its Spanish audience.
Throughout the movie, it was hard to figure out if he's imagining certain scenes or not. Early on he imagines himself on the Murray Franklin (Robert De Niro) Show and this establishes that he develops things in his mind.
By the time of his transformation, you pretty much feel for the guy despite the criminal acts he has done. The film does a 180 at the end and changes your perspective of the whole film. This movie is brilliant.
