Starring alongside Joaquin Phoenix in Joker: Folie À Deux, Lady Gaga has sparked concern among her fans as many critics have slammed the 'bleak' Todd Phillips film.
The Poker Face hitmaker, 38, was cast as Harley Quinn, Arthur Fleck's other half, in Joker: Folie À Deux, a sequel to Todd Phillips ' 2019 film, which earned Joaquin an Oscar. Lady Gaga took on the new role after showing off her acting skills in A Star Is Born and American Horror Story.
As the BBC reports, David Ehrlich wrote for IndieWire that "Phillips’ musical sequel feels like it’s bad on purpose", before adding that the film was "boring, flat, and such a criminal waste of Lady Gaga that we should demand a public hearing" in a scathing review. Danny Leigh from The Financial Times followed this up by taking aim at Todd Phillips: "while Gaga works hard enough to bump up the star rating alone, the thinness of her role makes Phillips seem like the dog that caught the car. He wanted her in the movie, without a clue what to do next."
But while her career may have been dealt a massive blow, Lady Gaga's relationship with fiancé Michael Polansky has been growing from strength to strength as she looks to the future.
