Review | 'Joker: Folie a Deux': Don't come to this musical looking to get happy
Briefly

The final moments of Todd Phillips's 'Joker' remain haunting, blending onscreen violence with audience reaction, raising concerns about hero-ification of psychopathy and copycat violence.
'Joker: Folie à Deux' serves as an act of atonement, presenting a film of ideas as a grim entertainment, challenging viewers to reconsider their reactions.
In this sequel, musical numbers highlight the dark themes of classics, revealing Arthur's disturbed psyche while also bringing vintage music to a new audience.
A rich concept that combines musical elements and courtroom drama ultimately falls short, yet its ambition may introduce classic tunes to a younger generation.
