This is obviously just my opinion but I do think that all the negative reviews I've seen are just people that don't get it and don't want to. it's really clear from the movie that Todd had intention with this film, and I think it was brilliant. The way is plays off the audience expectations is amazing.

I mean you literally have the joker saying "you just want a spectacle" like it could not be more obvious what this film is supposed to evoke, and it did exactly that, and people are not connecting the dots lmao. 

 

I hope this take on the movie is the one that endures.

Then near premiere (Venice) it was reported that her role was cut short post production. 

Was it actually reported? I thought it was a just a rumor going on in here

Maybe watch the movie first before coming to your own conclusions :sweat: 

It's disappointing to hear she may not be in the movie as much as we would've liked, but at the end of the day, this was still a Joker story. And for what it's worth I've seen literally no one criticize her performance. If you have issues with the film, it's not going to be with her and her performance.

I've seen no credible people or outlets report on that. I think monsters just want to make a narrative because they're disappointed with the [supposed] lack of Gaga in the film. For all we know this was always a supporting role.

Should we sue Todd Phillips for false advertisement and cutting Gaga's screen time even though it was clearly marketed and promoted that she had a bigger role. 

Just asking for a friend. :icant:

I have bought tickets so i will be seeing the movie. 

When the movie was announced and after filming was complete Gaga was considered a strong contender for Lead Actress during awards season mainly Oscars. 

Then near premiere (Venice) it was reported that her role was cut short post production. 

As it premiered in more areas her role was considered as Supporting. 

Now as it is about to premiere across the globe people are saying her role is not even strong enough for a supporting nomination. 

We can never have it all.

Todd when i catch you:dom:

Jeremy Lin Carter won support actress for everything everywhere all at once and her role was 15 min screen time.

Anthony Hopkins won best actor for the silence of the lambs and he had 15 min screen time..

She can still snatch support nomination and a win.

yeah but consider that most of the critics likes to hate on Gaga so they are biased.

those movies were universally acclaimed tho, so there’s the difference 

but you’re right that you can win even with only 5 minutes on the screen if the role and the narrative are stellar
