Lady Gaga as Harley "Lee" Quinn in Joker: Folie à Deux
While Joker: Folie à Deux is not at all what I’d hoped it would be, Lady Gaga’s Harley Quinn was an extremely bright spot. With Joaquin Phoenix previously winning an Oscar for his performance as Arthur Fleck in the initial Joker, it comes as a huge surprise that Lady Gaga not only goes toe-to-toe with Phoenix, but genuinely out-performs him at times throughout the film.
Todd Phillips and Lady Gaga Take a Huge Risk With the Harley Quinn Character in 'Joker: Folie à Deux' Close Lady Gaga’s interpretation of Harley Quinn takes a huge risk in changing the original power dynamic seen in classic DC lore. Rather than keeping Harley Quinn as a therapist who Joker manipulates into madness, Gaga's Lee has far more control over Arthur, checking herself into Arkham Asylum and manipulating Arthur with lies about her parents and background.
1 Lady Gaga's Performance Keeps You Conflicted On Your Feelings For Harley Quinn Gaga's performance as Lee constantly keeps you guessing about whether you like this character or not. She possesses what Arthur Fleck lacks in this film, which is the watchability of the character. Every scene with Lee reveals something new about the character, whereas the writing for Arthur seems to only re-examine the same ideas and character traits from the first Todd PhillipsJoker film.
