Joker: Folie à Deux | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

Joaquin Phoenix, an Academy Award winner for Arthur Fleck, delivers another powerful performance in Joker: Folie à Deux.

Seeking a minority opinion? Here’s one: Joker: Folie à Deux is superior to 2019's Joker in just about every way. There’s still plenty that’s wrong with it, but it’s no wonder incel supporters of the first film as well as fanboy critics hate it.

It starts out as a twisted, exhilarating love story between Joker and Lee, which is then forced to make room for a dull courtroom drama that mostly discusses the events of the first film.

A failed musical courtroom melodrama, whose bloated agenda betrayed Phoenix’s singular creation, a living entity of its own, haunting the popular mythos, which is possibly the worst thing storytellers can do.

When all is said and done, you may catch glimpses of the ambitious vision that Phillips had for this eagerly-awaited sequel, but it also becomes quite clear that he went a little overboard with his approach and tried to do far too much with it.
