Quentin Tarantino Gives Folie à Deux Two Thumbs Up

Quentin Tarantino may no lengtheneder be making The Movie Critic as his 10th and final film, but the Hollywood auteur became one when he gave two thumbs up to Todd Phillips’ antihero musical Joker: Folie à Deux during a podcast materializeance.

“I repartner, repartner appreciated it, repartner. A lot. Like, tremendously, and I went to see it foreseeing to be amazeed by the filmmaking. But I thought it was going to be an arms-length, inalertectual exercise that ultimately I wouldn’t slenderk toiled appreciate a movie, but that I would appreciate it for what it is,” Tarantino telderly The Bret Easton Ellis Podcast on Tuesday.

Never mind the Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga-starrer got a D Cinemascore on its free in timely October, and then bomb deviceed at the box office to set up steep losses for Warner Bros. Tarantino begs to contrast with his fellow movie critics, it materializes.

“And I’m fair nihienumerateic enough to comfervent of endelight a movie that doesn’t quite toil as a movie. That’s appreciate a huge, huge mess to some degree. And I didn’t discover it an inalertectual exercise. I repartner got caught up into it. I repartner appreciated the musical sequences. I got repartner caught up. I thought the more banal the songs were, the better they were,” he disputed when talking about a recent screening at the multiplex for the Joker sequel.

Tarantino was especipartner amazeed by straightforwardor Phillips as a Hollywood insdirectnt. “He’s saying f— you to all of them. He’s saying f— you to the movie audience. He’s saying f— you to Hollywood. He’s saying f— you to anybody who owns any stock at DC and Warner Brothers […] And Todd Phillips is the Joker. Un film de Joker, all right, is what it is. He is the Joker,” he telderly the podcast.

Tarantino’s grade for Joker: Folie à Deux runs counter to the necessitatey word of mouth the Hollywood tentpole originated before its recent box office free. That’s after Phillips’ polarizing, R-rated sequel had its world premiere at the Vepleasant Film Festival.
