Critics Consensus

Joaquin Phoenix's eponymous Joker takes the stand in a sequel that dances around while the story remains still, although Lady Gaga's wildcard energy gives Folie á Deux some verve.

Audience Says

A broken Joker and his Lady’s voice provide Folie à Deux with enough kindling to keep a tepid fire burning for the clown prince of crime.

Chicago Reader

Set on tediously considering its predecessor, Joker: Folie à Deux offers nothing to the franchise.

Dramatically inert, devoting 138 very deliberate minutes to revealing what was undeniable from the first film.

Rated: 2/5

It is a very strange film... and I mean that as a compliment.

If you've been hanging out for the most depressing musical of all time, rejoice, that moment has arrived!

Joker: Folie a Deux has some visual flair, but that doesn’t make up for the plodding pacing over two hours and eighteen minutes, or its cursory examination of fame. It’s a folly that rings hollow.

Frank I’m wondering if James Gunn ruined this movie. Regardless, I’d like a refund, as it is quite possibly the most overhyped movie since Street Fighter (JCVD).. I loved Street Fighter, though, but can’t say the same for Joker Folie A Dump… Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/24/24 Full Review Daniel Does not deserve the hate. it’s a good movie. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/24/24 Full Review T Very sad delusional movie. There were way too many musical numbers. Also there were no other developments of other characters, even Harley Quinn was underdeveloped, her life story in less than 5 minutes of dialogue. The ending was good but it did not fit, it was so underdeveloped with the other psychopath. Don’t waste your money. You could not pay me to rent this. Actors should comment. Be warned, it’s singing and dancing and depressing. Not for DC/Batman fans. Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/24/24 Full Review Matthew I found it to be (intentionally so or not) a great work of meta-fiction. Fleck's character echoed the hallow unmotivated desire to continue what once was a standalone tale. Lee (eager higher-ups) desires more form Fleck and practically pushes him into that position. Without getting into heavy spoiler territory, the actions that follow (the rise and fall) help push this point in their own nuanced way. Overall it's a solid film when watched through that lens. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/24/24 Full Review Dena I loved the cast, but the movie was trash. Had I known it was going to be a musical I would have skipped it altogether.. Not my thing…👎🏻 Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/24/24 Full Review Erick There were too many unnecessary musical ballads in the movie that did not add any value to the movie. I read all the reviews online but had to watch it because I am a huge joker fan and and had to decide for myself. But definitely tainted what was such a brilliant first movie,to a dud sequel.
