4 reasons why 'Joker: Folie à Deux' is a historic movie (but not for the good reasons)

I remember the feeling as I left the theater after watching Todd Phillips’ ‘Joker’ (2019). Some people were speechless from the shock they felt. Others just couldn’t stop talking about the incredible journey that the film had been. But no one, absolutely no one, left the theater indifferent. It was expected that, being such a universally acclaimed film and becoming a box office that hit beyond Warner Bros.’ wildest dreams, there would be a sequel. At the end of the day, business is business. Wha

Malii: impressive! Lady Gaga without a single flaw.

Joker Folie à Deux: A musical without rhythm.

The long-awaited Joker sequel has caused quite a stir since its announcement, mainly because of its quirky title and the return of Joaquin Phoenix as the complex, head-turning anti-hero that is the Joker. However, as fans eagerly awaited its theatrical release, even with its new theme covered under a musical alongside Lady Gaga, many were met with a stark reality: the film's ambitious gamble missed the mark and fell many feet short of the mark. Although the initial expectation focused on its uni

Joker: Folie à Deux – Foucault, Power, and the Collapse of Myth

Joker: Folie à Deux, directed by Todd Phillips and starring Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga, presents a complex dive into identity, power, and the distortions between reality and entertainment. The title, “Folie à Deux” (meaning “madness shared by two”), encapsulates not only the relationship between Arthur Fleck (the Joker) and Harley Quinzel (Harley Quinn) but also the dual nature of the film’s narrative—balancing between a grounded reality and the spectacle of a musical. The film plays with the

Last year we had Barbenheimer. And this year presents you: Megajokalis!

This is not a review of these popular films but a reflection on certain cultural phenomena. We all know what happened during Hollywood’s summer season last year. Barbie and Oppenheimer, initially competing for the same release window, complemented each other and achieved mutual success, injecting a much-needed boost into Hollywood after the post-COVID slump. This fall, however, a strikingly ironic parallel to the “Barbenheimer” phenomenon has emerged: let me present you “Megajokalis”: the simult

Is Lady Gaga the Real-World Harley Quinn?

In Joker: Folie à Deux, Lady Gaga shines vocally, and her performance as Harley Quinn meets the standard, but I truly can't pretend to like the film's overall story. To be clear, I'm referring to Gaga's strong performance in the movie—not her portrayal of Harley. As someone who's been closely following her career, I don't question Gaga's acting chops. Her role in A Star is Born, where she masterfully depicts the transformation of an ordinary dreamer into a music icon, speaks volumes. This perfor

Is it just me, or is it getting crazier out there on Joker: Folie à Deux?

"Let's give the people what they want." Harley Quinn says this phrase at a certain surreal/musical moment of the most—we can say it now—unfairly hated and dividing movie of the year. These words feel like a massive yearning of what never happened nor what we'll never see. Or, maybe, Todd Phillips intended this originally with the second movie, but all together didn't end up connecting with the audience and the critics as the first one did. The anarchy, rebellion and free violence sense reflected

"Double Folly": Will This Be the End of Joaquin Phoenix?

2024 has undoubtedly not been a good year for Joaquin Phoenix. This 2020 Oscar-winner actor is now caught in a double defeat: his new film Joker 2: Folie à Deux has flopped both at the box office and with critics, and his sudden exit from an untitled LGBTQ-themed film with Todd Haynes just five days before shooting has severely tarnished his reputation. Together, these two incidents have cast a huge shadow over his career. Among the two, his abrupt departure from the Todd Haynes film challenges

How the Red Pill culture poisoned Joker 2

When I watched the first Joker in 2019, I left the theater with a wondering mind. The movie moved me in a way I hadn't expected, with its raw and unsettling approach to mental health, social exclusion and the fine line between victim and villain. Arthur Fleck wasn't just the comic book Joker I knew—he was a brutal portrait of a society that fails to look after its own. However, to my surprise, what I considered to be a broader social critique was taken up by a group that completely distorted the

Todd Phillips deceived EVERYONE (once again)

Was a sequel necessary? This was the first question I asked myself after the continuation of the Oscar winner Joker—which was slightly inspired by Gotham City's iconic villain—was announced. What would be the movie approach and how much more could the story be exploited? Just by thinking about it for a second, the possibilities were more than interesting. The first movie introduced us to Arthur Fleck's miserable life. He was a aspiring stand-up comedian, but behind that dreamlike fantasy in whic

The Joker’s new movie feels like a bad punchline

After watching Todd Phillips ' first Joker, I left the theater feeling uneasy, as if the film had poked at a dark side of society that we try not to think about too much. Arthur Fleck, with his uncontrollable laughter and internal struggles, depicted something deeper, a sharp social critique that touched many open wounds. So, when I heard about the sequel, Joker: Folie à Deux, my expectations were sky-high. After all, what else could you expect from a director who has managed to create a villain
