EDDINGTON - Ari Aster’s dark satire of the pandemic and its effect on a clueless anti-mask small town sheriff played by Joaquin Phoenix veers off in several thrilling and unexpected directions. Iain MacLeod reviews one of the most divisive  and wickedly entertaining films of the year.

JOKER: FOLIE À DEUX is a daring sequel that delves into Arthur Fleck's trial, and questions the cult of celebrity while defying the usual blockbuster formula. Despite its striking musical numbers and bleak, thought-provoking narrative, the film has been divisive, receiving harsh criticism while standing out as a bold, unconventional follow-up.
