Lady Gaga's Artistic Rebellion: Her Thoughts on 'Joker: Folie a Deux' and Embracing Criticism

Lady Gaga recently shared her thoughts on the negative reactions to the movie 'Joker: Folie a Deux,' finding the criticism amusing and feeling artistically rebellious at the time. In the film, Gaga plays the role of Lee, who later becomes Harley Quinn, a patient in Arkham State Hospital alongside Joaquin Phoenix's character, Arthur Fleck. Despite the negative reviews and box office performance of the sequel to the 2019 hit 'Joker,' Gaga remained unfazed and even found humor in the situation. The movie premiered at the Venice Film Festival and hit theaters on October 4, following the success of the first 'Joker' film, which won critical acclaim and commercial success, including multiple Oscar nominations and wins. Gaga expressed her willingness to accept criticism as an artist and channeled her feelings into a music video for her song "Disease" after the release of the Joker sequel. The movie is now available for streaming on HBO Max.
