Joker : Folie à deux

...Lady Gaga delivers a diva charge. Could it be that her Harley Quinn will return in an adventure of her own?

...Phoenix clearly knows this character inside out by now. His posture is even more disconcerting this time; the actor is still shockingly gaunt, but the way he carries himself speaks to a body that has endured a life of abuse...

...a gruelingly miserable psychological study of a depraved, self-pitying mind that leaves no room for pity – but does squeeze in a bunch of musical numbers.

...no other adaptation has burrowed this far under the character’s face-painted, mutilated skin.
