Joker is a fantastic movie, but I'd recommend anyone struggling with mental health to avoid it or approach with caution.
No, I'm not buying into the hype. I usually have a pretty high tolerance to stuff, but this got too personal towards the end and almost sent me spiraling. It shouldn't be rated as 15. It's an R rated movie if I've ever seen one, and not because of violence.

I agree. I think they've done a really good job of depicting mental illness, so much so that it hit much too close to home for me as well and I had to leave the cinema about halfway through the movie. I've been (consciously) struggling with depression for half my life and I'm currently in a phase (in therapy) where things are looking up, I feel more connected, more awake and present and therefor much more vulnerable and sensitive towards depictions of mental illness, addiction and so forth.
I wouldn't necessarily say it's a question of age though but rather how sensitive you are and whether you've struggled with similar issues in your past or not.
Hope you feel better 💪

I agree entirely but sadly I think some of the themes, questions and messages the movie is portraying will fall on deaf ears, quite ironic.
