'Irresponsible propaganda?'
Within hours of the "Joker" premiere, some warned that Phoenix's full-throttle portrait of a needy, embittered clown who lives with his mother could empower incels (or involuntary celibates) -- the angry, misogynist young men who have been blamed for so much far-right and white supremacist violence.
Vanity Fair's Richard Lawson worried that it was "exhilarating in the most prurient of ways, a snuff film about the death of order, about the rot of a governing ethos."
He feared that it "may be irresponsible propaganda for the very men it pathologises".
But most critics disagreed, with Variety's Owen Gleiberman saying Phoenix has remade Batman's arch-enemy as a "Method psycho, a troublemaker so intense in his cuckoo hostility that even as you're gawking at his violence, you still feel his pain."
The actor reportedly lost more than 23 kilos (52 pounds) to play the part.
Phillips defended his film saying the jury "understood what we were trying to say, and I hope that translates."
He told reporters that he had "pushed away from comedy because comedy is truth, and truth has become offensive in the States."
"We had a lot of resistance trying to get this movie made and now we couldn't be prouder."
