Joker Folie a Deux 1st anniversary

[Wewaited12hrs 124]

Incredibly underrated film and Gaga's best on screen performance to date. I said what I said!

The moment I knew we were in trouble was the moment I saw that Lady Gaga didn't have an iconic catch phrase for this movie. No "art of darkness", "100 people in a room", "father, son, house of Gucci", etc.

Love it, still watch it (sorta) regularly. Very underrated/misunderstood.

I still love this review of it by Mark Kermode (very famous UK critic) which I think hits the spot:

The hate JFAD got was so overblown, obviously it was different from what people were expecting but it didn't deserve a fraction of the backlash it got. I love it so much and Gaga was amazing in it! And Joaquin was a great musical partner for her, he exceeded my expectations!

It had a terrible script and story. Didn't think the jukebox musical pieces added anything. The actors did okay.

 

Only good thing we got out of it was Harlequin

This is an iconic bomb  and the way Gaga turned the situation around after this disaster is amazing... Makes MAYHEM's success even more impressive

I'm torn because it kinda "helped" MAYHEM but it succeeding would've helped Harlequin and Disease a lot  and it could've been Gaga's best performance. She was barely in the movie and they could've done a lot with her character, I always get angry just remembering how they fumbled this movie and how everyone was blaming Gaga

I feel like people exaggerate how bad it was. It wasn’t terrible. It wasn’t great, either, tho.

I don’t remember Folie a Deux. 
 

I only saw it once during the Fan First premiere. I was a little underwhelmed with the film overall.
 

Loved Gaga in it. I remember the film ending and sitting there like 

 

I enjoyed the first one. This one left me wanting a little bit more action and a more provocative and shocking scene.

I like the movie and can watch it several times but have my issues with it. I don't think it deserved the hate it got and it became an internet meme to hate it. The best part about all of this is that we got one of her strongest albums Harlequin and Happy Mistake one of her best ballads ever.

I still think the movie deserved some Academy Awards nominations. Best Cinematography, Score, etc. and it could've been Gaga's Lead Actress Oscar but still pisses me off how so many of her scenes was just Harley sitting in the back when they could've done something more with her character. Well, they could've done more than just a court room drama.

But at least it gave us her greatest Jazz album so far 

(do we all secretly hate Tony Bennett?)
