What kind of watch this is
Todd Phillips directs this 138-minute drama, thriller, and crime hybrid. Joaquin Phoenix returns as Arthur Fleck, alongside Lady Gaga as Lee Quinzel and Brendan Gleeson as Jackie Sullivan. The film leans heavily on its tagline: "The world is a stage." It treats the character’s dual identity not just as a psychological state, but as a performance. The music is central to the narrative, not a background element. It is a long, loud, and deliberately theatrical piece. Expect the stage to swallow the street.
What the critics said
The critics were not kind. Rotten Tomatoes sits at 31%, a figure that signals a movie most reviewers passed on. Metacritic, slightly more charitable, lands on 46 out of 100, which it files under mixed or average. The consensus notes the film dances around while the story remains still, a critique that feels oddly specific for a musical. Pete Hammond of Deadline called it "brilliant," a verdict that stands in stark contrast to the aggregate scores. William Bibbiani of TheWrap found it "genuinely a little daring," which is praise that requires a lot of mental gymnastics to believe. The split is wide enough to see the chasm from both sides.
How it did with audiences
The film cost $200 million and grossed $204 million, a financial result that keeps accountants awake at night. In the United States and Canada, it earned $58.3 million, while other territories added $149.2 million. Variety called it a box office bomb, estimating the studio lost between $125 million and $200 million. Deadline Hollywood later calculated a $144.25 million loss in April 2025. TMDB users rate it 5.4/10, and IMDb gives it 5.2/10 as of March 2026. The audience seems to have done the math before the studio did.
What came next for the cast
Joaquin Phoenix traded Joker (2019) for Eddington (2025). Lady Gaga moved from A Star Is Born (2018) to The Devil Wears Prada 2 (2026). Brendan Gleeson left the Harry Potter sequels for Spider-Noir (2026). The credits do not prove the musical caused the shift. They merely mark the timeline.
