Paul Schrader stopped watching Joker 2 after 15 minutes because ‘that was enough’

Paul Schrader has offered a withering assessment of Joker: Folie à Deux, saying he walked out after around 10 or 15 minutes, bought something, came back for another 10 minutes and decided: “That was enough.”

Joker: Folie à Deux, which like the first film was directed by The Hangover filmmaker Todd Phillips, has flopped at the box office.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Joker: Folie à Deux is the first Hollywood comic book movie to earn a D CinemaScore from opening day audiences.
