Lady Gaga Shares Her Reaction to Joker: Folie À Deux Critics

Lady Gaga offers a rather mature response to all the criticism surrounding the recent Warner Bros. film Joker: Folie À Deux.

It's not really news that Joker: Folie À Deux wasn't a huge hit for DC and Warner Bros., especially after the positive reception surrounding the first Joker film. That being said, it does have some fun with its strong cast and unique structure.

While speaking with Elle UK, Gaga reflected on the film and shared her reaction to the negative reception surrounding it. She perfectly explained, "People just sometimes don't like some things. It's that simple. And I think to be an artist, you have to be willing for people to sometimes not like it. You keep going even if something didn't connect in the way that you intended."

Sure, sometimes there's a need to defend one's project (because art is all subject to opinion anyway), but during a time when many are prepared to blame marketing, script changes, or even audiences, it's kind of refreshing to witness a reaction that reminds everyone that sometimes things just don't land. It's not the end of the world!

Joker: Folie À Deux: Summary, Cast List, Release Date

From acclaimed writer/director/producer Todd Phillips comes Joker: Folie À Deux, the much-anticipated follow-up to 2019's Academy Award-winning Joker, which earned more than $1 billion at the global box office and remains the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time. The new film stars Joaquin Phoenix once again in his Oscar-winning dual role as Arthur Fleck/Joker opposite Oscar-winner Lady Gaga (A Star Is Born).

Joker: Folie À Deux finds Arthur Fleck institutionalized at Arkham, awaiting trial for his crimes as Joker. While struggling with his dual identity, Arthur not only stumbles upon true love but also finds the music that's always been inside him.

The film also stars Oscar nominees Brendan Gleeson (The Banshees of Inisherin) and Catherine Keener (Get Out, Capote), alongside Zazie Beetz, reprising her role from Joker. Phillips, who was nominated for Oscars for directing, writing, and producing Joker, directed Joker: Folie À Deux from a screenplay by fellow Oscar nominee Scott Silver & Phillips, based on characters from DC. The film was produced by Phillips, Oscar nominee Emma Tillinger Koskoff and Joseph Garner. Lady Gaga served as music consultant. The film's executive producers are Michael E. Uslan, Georgia Kacandes, Silver, Mark Friedberg, and Jason Ruder.
