Film enthusiasts are split about evenly on Joker 2, but most of their responses have been...complex. What are the opinions of Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix, though?

Polarising. That's the term used to describe filmmaker Todd Phillips' return to the meticulously constructed universe of Arthur Fleck, who is represented by Joaquin Phoenix, who is a very dedicated and unwavering actor. You've got a sure winner when you toss in the Lady Gaga-inspired Harley Quinn. Nearly. or perhaps not at all. Regarding Joker: Folie à Deux, feedback is gushing in from all directions, ranging from enthusiastic to heartbreaking. The film literally walks a razor's edge between being a noir masterpiece deserving of an Oscar and being a completely disorienting mess in terms of storytelling and execution. Of course, everyone is free to judge whether Joker 2 is a masterpiece or a disaster, but Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix might have offered their silent opinions on the matter.
