This musical-inspired sequel lacks the make-up of the first movie. The first “Joker” from 2019 gave Joaquin Phoenix his first Oscar win as Arthur Fleck, a mentally disturbed man, who transitions into […]
Joker: Folie a Deux
A Different Man
A wickedly funny film about a facial experiment that also changes a man’s insides. “A Different Man” is an A24 entry that uses an actor disguised by make-up for a deformity and […]
