The sequel to the musical psychological thriller starring Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga premiered at the Venice Film Festival. The first critics have therefore seen the film before its release in October.

It is one of the most anticipated films of this fall 2024. In a few weeks, the French public will be able to discover Joker: Folie à deux, sequel to the film directed by Todd Phillips, starring Joaquin Phoenix (joined by Lady Gaga in this sequel). While it will be released in our cinemas on October 2, the audience at the Venice Film Festival was already able to discover it in preview this Wednesday. So, is it as good as the first one, and can this mix between the world of comics and that of musical comedy hope to win a Golden Lion, four years after the one won by the first episode ?

Unsurprisingly, Joker: Folie à deux divides the critics, who seem to have generally remained hungry. On Metacritic, which lists 22 critics listed for the moment, Joker : Folie à deux wins the average score of 53/100. On Rottentomatoes, with 43 reviews, the rating rises to 60% positive reviews. While Lady Gaga's performance or the visual qualities of the film are praised, the rest more widely divides the American and French press. 

While Le Parisien describes it as a “breathtaking” film in which Lady Gaga “breaks the screen”, Le Monde criticizes the film for not showing “great inventiveness” and offers an “unparalleled show”. The Independent describes it as an “ingenious and deeply disturbing film”, while IGN deplores “its unexploited potential” in a sequel that “tells nothing new”. This second episode “is a boring and uninteresting film” for Vanity Fair, “a little light and sometimes bland” for The Hollywood Reporter. Variety considers for its part that the concept of mixing opposing genres, as “audacious” as it is, “is not well executed” in this film.” But as is often the case with cinema, it is the public who will have the final say in determining whether the success will surpass that of the first part. Regardless, director Todd Phillips has been clearly, there will be no sequel.

 – Sequel to the film Joker (2019). Interné In Arkham Asylum, Arthur Fleck/The Joker is tried. for five murders. He decides to defend himself while he forms a relationship with psychiatrist Harley Quinn.
