I loved this film. It is unseemly to use a word such as love, generally known as human emotion that can be singular in its intent or reciprocated. Yes I find no other word suits for this traumatic, courageous, and splendidly well acted peace by Phoenix and Germanotta. NN
I didn't watch the 1st film, and i had to go back. Now, I am glad that I did. The way Folie ร Deux reprises itself as a sequel in the storyline of the character Joker is, to my mind, one of the most inventive and artistic ways a story has ever been continued.
I feel the two stars not only stretched themselves to the limit, yet also shared I sense of both their characterizations of madness and the marriage of that love. I highly recommend this film; it's not an action movie, it's not a superhero movie or a super villain movie - it is a story about psychotic love, and isn't love entirely psychotic?
Superb performances; one of the best films I have ever seen, with my hat in hand, foot forward, and bent in a deep curtsy to the Lady herself.
