"I was literally gobsmacked by this one. Such a phenomenal (and unsettling) exploration of celebrity worship and a cautionary tale of how obsession can lead to detachment from reality and taking things too far. Incredible performances, especially from both Jerry Lewis and especially Robert De Niro, as well as direction and editing. One thing that really stood out for me was how the viewer is put in the headspace of Robert De Niro's character. I can totally see where Todd Phillips's JOKER took it's inspiration from. One of Martin Scorsese's all-time best films IMO, and a remarkable showcase of his effective storytelling style."

"A hell of a lot better than Joker."
Micheal Kelley
"This should be a classic. The good version of Joker. It's bizarre as the performances, funny and great. "
