    The result is a movie that tries really hard to make you cry or swoon, but left me with a blank expression on my face. Once again, I might be a hater. But I have to speak my truth

    Excellent film with so much style and depth. Would never watch again!

    ★½

    For a movie so hellbent on not having a conventional structure and incorporating musical elements, this felt so flat. Many scenes came across as repetitive or obligatory. For lack of a better phrase, Joker 2 does not have the sauce.
