Yes, he was fantastic in it.

I'm going to see Joker tomorrow. The reviews have got me intrigued.

[LaLaLand]

The reactions from the public on Twitter are completely positive as far as I can see. They can’t believe what they’ve watched in most cases, a gritty, completely disturbing, Oscar-worthy masterpiece.

He's always been one of my favourites. About time he got an Oscar.

I mean box office is meaningless if people just prefer Ledger's joker.

[Ramsay]

Best movie I've seen in a long, long time. Give Joaquin all the Oscars

[Daniel.]

This was fantastic, dark and gripping the entire way through, Joaquin Phoenix did a fantastic job of watching a man go insane, the last thirty minutes had me on edge.

[Babayaro.]

Did he kill his neighbour then?

[Vanessa]

Going to see this tonight. I'm so excited!

[Vanessa]

I like Jack Nicholson version of the joker as well. He's just fantastic.

I love Heath Ledger and honestly if some of the stuff I read about joaquin Phoenix are true then he's not a nice person so I really want to say Heath was better but he wasn't. Heath played the joker better than anyone in the past but Joaquin played him so so well I doubt he could ever be surpassed he made him sympathetic, disturbed, kind, unpredictable, cruel all in one go

I need to know this also

Joaquin phoenix is such a talented actor. I think he was amazing on Joker. This is an Oscar worthy performance. But I also like Heath ledger and Jack Nicholson jokers

I’m intrigued, what have you read to make you think that? Just curious.

It's more to do with Casey Affleck and the claim seems to be legit with regards to him (I'm pretty sure his accuser actually quit without being paid because of his harassment) but Joaquin seems to have had some involvement in it too

100% agree. Phoenix was definitely better than Ledger. Phoenix had a much more difficult job and he pulled it off.

Spoiler:

I don't think he killed her. At that point in the movie, he had a moral compass, I don't think he'd have killed a decent person like Sophie. He allowed Gary to live, so clearly he had some sense of compassion left for decent people.

But it's really open to interpretation.

We have the answer to this now

Spoiler:

Joker director Todd Phillips has revealed that he originally filmed a scene that confirmed Joaquin Phoenix's Arthur Fleck didn't kill Zazie Beetz's character in the movie.

While the filmmakers have previously made it clear that Sophie Dumond (Beetz) survived, Phillips has now said that the film was initially going to feature a cutaway to Sophie watching Arthur's climactic interview with former idol Murray Franklin (Robert De Niro).

Considering his talk show appearance happened a couple of days after she'd discovered an uninvited Arthur in her apartment – and it hauntingly transpired that he'd been imagining their romance – the shot would have proved that neither she, nor her daughter, had met their untimely end in that instance.

Ultimately however, Phillips decided to cut the short scene from the movie because he wanted to maintain the film's narrative structure and also ensure that it was always told from the Clown Prince of Crime's point of view.

"He doesn't kill her, definitively," Phillips said during an interview with IndieWire. "As the filmmaker and the writer, I am saying he doesn't kill her. We like the idea that it's almost like a litmus test for the audience to say, 'How crazy is he?'

I do wish they hadn't revealed what had happened. I loved how it was left open to interpretation.
