I liked this review.  It was enough without being too much.

Yeah, it was pretty good. And pretty dark. Took my 15 yo to it. He liked it, but it was heavier than we expected.

Didn't even bother with this one.

Ok, the synopsis is:

A Clown (a literal ?) gets fired from his job for bringing a gun to a Children’s hospital where he was entertaining kids.  He had been mugged and beaten, and carried the gun for protection. He is now broke, can’t afford his psychiatric medications, and takes to a life of vigilante justice. Doing so, he simultaneously becomes a cult hero, and psychotic, leading to more and more killings and chaos, and eventual incarceration and forensic psychiatric treatment. Very dark. Would recommend.

I read some piece on the facebooks about it.  It was written by a psychiatrist? (some sort of mental health professional) about the parallels to this movie and the way we treated our mentally ill.

I’m not seeing that. Looks like it was written by two professional screenwriters.

Phillips conceived Joker in 2016 and wrote the script with Silver throughout 2017. The two were inspired by 1970s character studies and the films of Martin Scorsese, who was initially attached to the project as a producer. The graphic novel Batman: The Killing Joke (1988) was the basis for the premise, but Phillips and Silver otherwise did not look to specific comics for inspiration.
