➱ STORYLINE:
"Joker: Folie à Deux" delves deeper into the twisted psyche of Arthur Fleck, who now fully embraces his Joker persona. The film explores the continuation of his descent into madness, but this time, Arthur is not alone. The title, "Folie à Deux," refers to a shared psychosis, introducing Harley Quinn, a fellow inmate at Arkham Asylum who falls for the Joker and becomes his equally unhinged partner. Set against a backdrop of musical numbers, this sequel brings an experimental approach, blending chaotic and emotional sequences that illustrate the growing insanity between the two characters, all while Gotham City continues to spiral into chaos.
➱ STAFF REVIEW:
"Joker: Folie à Deux" is a bold and imaginative sequel that offers something entirely different from the original film. The musical element adds a surreal, almost nightmarish quality to the narrative, making it stand out from other films in the genre. Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga deliver powerful, nuanced performances, perfectly capturing the tragic yet disturbing dynamic between Joker and Harley Quinn. The cinematography is haunting, and the music direction cleverly uses the musical sequences to reflect the characters' inner turmoil. The film may divide audiences with its unusual approach, but it is undeniably a daring and creative expansion of Joker's world.

I found this film to be decent enough but I am not a huge Joker fan so take my rating it for what it is.
This film is really really bad imho. The musical aspect was just out of place.
