Joker: Folie à Deux movie review (2024) - Roger Ebert
Oct 3, 2024 · What set me off was the film’s climax, in which Joaquin Phoenix’s Arthur Fleck, now gone almost full Joker, appears on a late-night talk show hosted by glib showman Murray Franklin (Robert De Niro). Franklin’s object is a mockery of the man in the clown makeup. But Arthur has the last laugh: he pulls out a gun and blows Franklin’s brains out on live TV.

Challengers movie review & film summary (2024) | Roger Ebert
What a situation! The instability of it keeps “Challengers” on its toes even when it’s on the verge of getting tripped up by plot machinations and the past/present storytelling churn of Justin Kuritzkes’ screenplay and Marco Costa’s editing. There’s a lively cinematic subgenre that deconstructs the rise and fall of a relationship by jumping around in time—two excellent examples ...

The Best Films of 2024 So Far | Features - Roger Ebert
Jun 25, 2024 · The signature shades of David Lynch and Henry James are left like paint on the surface of a pool; we must sink below them to discover what he’s searching for beneath the obvious references to LA surrealism, school shooters, and climate change. That identity is a performance; that romance is implanted like the Manchurian Candidate’s code phrase; that fulfillment has always been controlled ...
