The revelation of the movie is Gaga as Lee: on a technical level, it's so impressive to see how the actress and musician modulates her talent and abilities. To better suit the film's aesthetic (and match Phoenix's method of performing his songs in character), Gaga lets Lee have a breathy, pitchy style to her singing, only opening up the throttle during some of the fantasy musical numbers. It's a performance that recalls Ellen Greene's Audrey in "Little Shop of Horrors," demonstrating Gaga's huge range.

 

What's even better is how she's able to tap into the psychological realism of Harleen in a similar fashion to Phoenix's take on Arthur...Harley comes to life in a way she never has before, her madness and obsession parallel yet distinct from Joker's.

Hard to get a nod from a panned movie (see: House of Gucci)

Sooooooo many examples to prove that wrong (incl winners) but okay :rip:

If she goes supporting she can easily win the Oscar. She shouldn't run a Gladstone'd lead campaign.

Indiewire is the most snobbish film critic publisher. 

Not surprised that they pan almost everything :zzz:

What kind of lie. They mostly gave movies mixed-to-positive reviews at Venice.

I feel very confident Gaga isn't happening regardless of what category she was in (obviously we know now that it's not a lead role)

Theyre all praising Gaga even the bad reviews.

The fact she's absent for the whole last hour of the movie is a bit worrisome for a Best Actress nod. She needed to anchor the movie, but it looks like she was great technically while the movie is still Joaquin's show…. 

She was totally absent in the second(?) act of HOG too iirc, but yeah if the entire last hour of this film has no Lee in it then it'll be hard campaigning as lead. I'm kinda confused because everything from the promo to the billing to the interviews screams co-lead. But then again if Hopkins won with 16 minutes of screen time then Lee has a chance, and Best Actress looks a hot mess atm.

 

She kinda needed the film to have better reviews to happen though.

Like this was the final nail in the coffin...:rip:

You're telling me you saw the first Joker and expected Gaga to be walking around in lingerie with pink and blue hair, walking around with a cartoon accent and calling Joker "Mista J" every five minutes :rip:

Posted

The Wrap: 4/5 stars

Collider: 2/5 stars

 

Seems very polarizing like the first one which makes me excited to watch :duca:
