    Joker: Folie à Deux

    ★★★½

    I really enjoyed some parts but overall I think the pacing was not very good, some parts being far too dragged out or repeated too many times (musical sequences) which reduced its impact. The cinematography was stunning though especially during the musical sequences. I think the “point” of the movie was really interesting and how it dealt with the idolisation of Joker. But to be honest, a bit disappointing as I did love the first one and the sequel treads…

    Key themes and messages are very interesting about class structure etc, HOWEVER there’s something about the film that felt slightly off for me. Maybe too high expectations? I’m not sure 

    I was going to give it 3.5 stars, but that felt too harsh tbh, plot was pretty cool and I enjoyed the metaphors and symbolism all the way through.

    Good watch nonetheless with an interesting ending

    Such a moving and emotional coming of age tale exploring the importance of freedom and passion , it really shows the difference in the general mentality towards youth/careers etc in comparison to todays age.

    “I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately... I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life... to put rout all that was not life; and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.“
