Writer Paul Schrader Highly Criticizes 'Joker: Folie à Deux' and Its Cast
Paul Schrader, the acclaimed screenwriter behind Taxi Driver, didn't hold back when criticizing Joker: Folie à Deux. Schrader slammed the film and took aim at the cast, delivering scathing remarks about their performances. Read on for all the details behind his brutal takedown of one of the year's most anticipated films!
Joker: Folie à Deux was one of the most highly anticipated films of 2024, but it turned out to be a huge disappointment for audiences worldwide.
The main reason for this was the fact that the film was a musical.
One of the people who didn't like Joker: Folie à Deux was Paul Schrader, the screenwriter of Taxi Driver.
Both film critics and audiences heavily criticized the sequel to the 2019 Joker film.
The 78-year-old American director, in an interview with Interview magazine, said,
'I go to the movies based on what’s being released. I watched Joker: Folie à Deux and I could only last 25 minutes. Even that was enough to declare it a really bad musical.'
The famous director didn’t hold back from criticizing the film's lead actors, Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga, either.
He added in the interview, 'I don’t like them. I don’t like either of them. I don’t like them as characters, and I don’t like anything about them. These are the kind of people you’d run out the back door if they came to your house.'
