Joker’s Rotten Tomatoes Rating Drops Following Early Reviews at TIFF

The highly anticipated film “Joker” saw a drop in its Rotten Tomatoes score after early reviews emerged from the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). The movie initially received a nearly perfect score of 90% on the site, but this decreased to 78% following the festival. Critics had mixed opinions, with some praising Joaquin Phoenix’s performance while others expressed concerns about the film’s violence and portrayal of mental illness. Despite this decline, the film remains highly anticipated and is set to be released in October. The Rotten Tomatoes score may continue to fluctuate as more reviews come in..

Reviews from the critics who watched Joker at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) are streaming in, and the reception is definitely not as good as the one the movie received at the Venice Film Festival. From possessing a score of 85% in late August, the movie’s Rotten Tomato score has since fallen to 78%. As of this piece, just looking at the top critics alone, about half of them gave the movie a rotten score. From the 8 minute standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival, to a mere 20 second seated (albeit enthusiastic) applause at TIFF, how did it go so wrong?

Looking through the reviews, it is apparent that it is the morality of it all that critics question, and rightly so. Yes movies are meant to give us entertainment, a form of escape from the mundanity of our own 9 to 5 lives, but it also works as a lens to magnify and highlight social issues. So what is Joker delivering as a social commentary? According to David Edelstein’s review for Vulture, what the movie does is that “it exalts its protagonist and gives him the origin story of his dreams, in which killing is a just — and artful — response to a malevolently indifferent society.”

We are a far cry away from Heath Ledger’s Joker, where there was no logic or reason to justify his evil – he is the way he is because “some men just want to watch the world burn”.

We will just have to wait and see for ourselves which side we fall on come October 4th, 2019.
