The People's Joker, after a contentions debut at the 2022 Toronto Film Festival, is about to reach its widest audience yet.

Having seen this movie, it is:
* A queer coming-of-age-movie that tells a deeply personal and emotional story
* A love letter to the Batman mythos
* A torchbearer for Tim and Eric type humor

That description alone should tell you if it is worth watching for you.

That's a no from me..

Trailer was an interesting watch though, but gonna have to pass up on 1+ hours of that

It’s a very well-made and emotional film, but I do think you can watch the trailer and accurately gauge your likely tolerance level for it.
