A Mixed Bag of Reviews
Some critics have praised the film, with William Bibbiani of The Wrap stating it’s “the most interesting film about Arthur Fleck” and finding it to be “daring” and “genuine.” However, others have been less impressed. David Ehrlich of IndieWire gave the film a C- rating, calling it “boring” and “flat.” Matthew Turner of NME gave the film 4/5 stars, finding it to be “socially responsible” and a unique take on the Joker franchise.
What to Expect
The film is said to feature music heavily, with Lady Gaga’s performance being a highlight. However, it’s not a full musical. The movie also explores the consequences of the first film, keeping the door open for potential future installments in the franchise. With such divided opinions, it’s hard to say what to expect from Joker: Folie a Deux, but one thing is for sure – it’s sure to be a thought-provoking watch.
