Review of the film: "Joker: Folie à Deux" is a terrible film that plays tricks

Although billed as the second protagonist, Lady Gaga is a pleasant addition to the group and plays a pretty substantial supporting part because she frequently disappears from the screen on Joker: Folie à Deux Soap2Day. She is an extremely talented actor who has every chance of taking home an Oscar. I wish the filmmakers had chosen to go with Arthur and Lee's jail escape during the scene that occurs at the thirty-minute mark. I don’t know if a movie modeled on Bonnie & Clyde would have been universally beloved, but it’s not just the one I would have liked to see, it was also right there. However, it appears that the filmmakers are merely trying to make a point at the conclusion.

When you leave the cinema after seeing Joker: Folie à Deux, a lot of things go through your mind. The one that is most audible is "Todd Phillips should never again make a musical." This director is unaware of what makes musicals so...magical. Skilled filmmakers are able to seamlessly switch from talk to music. "Why are these people singing all of a sudden?" is not something we consider. Filmmakers take away the "weirdness factor." But Phillips lacks both that aptitude and that sense. He doesn't do musical theater clichés well. The musical sections in Joker: Folie à Deux lack any feeling of wonder. They take place in Arthur's imagination, where music and dancing abound. However, this dream world isn't fantastical or terrifying.

It's really literal, and the abrupt cuts bring us into this world in an uninspired way. Once inside, we don't experience Arthur's obsession. Phillips moves his body in an indifferent way. He doesn't seem at ease when recording the musical numbers. When characters sing in the actual world, as opposed to Arthur's imagination, the film gets worse. The issue is that Phillips merely sees songs as a substitute for communication. He gives the phrases that the characters speak under the guise of a song no rhythm at all. This combination of forgettable music and clumsy execution eventually causes a lot of yawns. In the last moments, Arthur asks Lee to quit singing and start speaking normally.
