The Joker Arthur (Phoenix) is in a
mental hospital awaiting trial. Is he crazy or not? He joins a music therapy choir
and meets Lee (Gaga) and they find that they are soul mates.
It is certainly a change from Joker. I think that’s the main problem
for many viewers. It’s not like Joker,
it’s its own film. It’s a love story about two severely disturbed individuals,
i.e. they’re both bonkers.
It’s not easy to watch or follow but
Phoenix is, as always, brilliant, and Gaga once again demonstrates start
quality.
Kudos to Philips for daring to make this film.
