In one of the most audacious films of the year, director/star Vera Drew freely borrows from DC Comics lore to both satirize comic book movies and create a poignant coming-of-transness story. In a rollercoaster year, Drew has gone from quietly making a personal film, to becoming the center of controversy when Warner Bros tried to suppress the movie’s premiere, to being nominated for significant awards. “The People’s Joker is a self-conscious, intentional cult film, crafted with genuine love for everything in the margins. And it tells a story everyone can relate to, about a kid growing up and trying to find happiness and success in a dark, troubled world.” – Jourdain Searles, Hollywood Reporter
