Joker: Folie à Deux

"This was such a fever dream. Lady GaGa is such a talent, and I love Joaquin Phoenix, but this was something else. Dueling reality is hard to portray. I admire the effort. Joker is an interesting character and always has been. This movie makes him gruesome and even more disturbing. I'm not an expert on DC or Joker or anything in this universe. All that aside, Lady GaGa really shows her vocal talent here. For reference: Folie à deux is a rare psychiatric condition in which a delusional belief is shared between two or more people who are closely related. The term translates to "madness for two" in French. It was coined in 1877 by French psychiatrists Charles Lasègue and Jules Falret. "

"Very beautiful cinematography, the visuals, lady Gaga, great as always. "

"Great look "

"A very dark story with music. The fateful story of Joker is extended to look at his time in the mental asylum and his meeting with Harley Quinn played by Gaga. Violent, and harsh. "

"Good but it’s not something that you can rewatch the first was way better "

"I don’t think it’s as bad as everyone says it is. It’s pretty much exactly what I expected it to be. Could have done with less singing. "

"It's a shame this wasn't good as the first one, strayed too far from the previous film. The musical aspect of it seems forced and very off putting, overall a bad direction for the film."

"Todd Phillips decided to give us 5 minutes of the movie we wanted. The whole movie builds to the Joker coming into his own just for him to say nah and be a sad sack. Terrible decision "

"While this movie was visually stunning , the acting was amazing, and there were call backs to some memorable DC characters , the pacing was very very very slow. Just when I felt like the movie was gaining momentum it would lose its steam. A good follow up , but not as wonderful or memorable as the first . "

"Complex. Brilliant? Frustrating. A journey into madness or decent into self? Believe it or not, the music didn’t bother me - the melodies were pleasant to the ear. If you are expecting a “sequel”to JOKER, then you may be disappointed. Todd Phillips had something else in mind. Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix were phenomenal, and for those two reasons, this movie is worth the watch. If you willing to keep an open mind about it being a musical, which makes sense in the context of the story, then you are in for quite a ride. Even so, after watching, I’m left feeling… nothing… but maybe that was the point. If you are sick of the same old same old, Joker: Folie à Deux, breaks the mold for better or worse. Enjoy! "
