Joker: Madness in Two, a sequel that disappoints, Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga offer a good performance giving life to two tormented and complex characters. However, it is the story that is full of holes.While the first film had won us over with its psychological depth and its powerful social critique, this second chapter seems to struggle to find its own identity. The plot, at times fragmented and predictable, cannot hold its own against its predecessor. The characters, while interesting, remain in the background compared to an action that gets lost in useless digressions.In conclusion, Joker: Folie à Deux is a film that leaves a bitter taste in the mouth, it is often even boring.
