'Outstanding,' 'irresponsible': Oscar voters react to Joker with many avoiding it
as the troubled, mentally ill Arthur Fleck, who eventually becomes Batman's arch-nemesis, the film set new box office records for an October release with a $96 million domestic debut last weekend. The theatrical success came amid heightened security at cinemas across the U.S., after the film sparked widespread headlines for its nihilistic themes and violence.
Now, many are curious to know if the film, or elements of it, will be remembered at year's end by members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, some of whom caught it at the Venice, Toronto or New York film festivals; others at member screenings in New York last Thursday or Los Angeles last Saturday; and still others in cineplexes along with everyone else over the weekend.
A handful of Academy members have publicly championed the film on social media — for example, actors branch memberposted to Instagram that he regards it as "a cinematic masterpiece." But many hold their cards closer to the vest, especially those who have reservations about the film. On Monday morning, I reached out to several dozen whom I regularly consult with to find out howare feeling about the film, promising them that I would identify them only by their gender and Academy branch."I saw it Saturday at the official Academy screening .
"I saw this one at the Academy. I probably wouldn't have seen it at a public theater. But wow, what a movie, huh? It's hard to know where to start. Joaquin deserves an Oscar nomination — he blows the doors off the fucking place — and the cinematography was fantastic. Even so, I sure don't want to see it again.
