刚刚，备注期待的《小丑2》在第81届威尼斯国际电影节完成了全球首映。但影片似乎并不令首映媒体和观众们满意。MTC刚才开画口碑也只有53/100分。
一些参加威尼斯电影节首映的著名电影杂志和媒体，看过之后如此评价到：
???? Screen International：第一部《小丑》是一部难得的具有情感色调、成熟主题和真正宏伟感的大片，而这部续集《小丑2》却未能在节奏上保持一致。
Where the original Joker remains a stunning exception — that rare blockbuster with emotional shading, grownup themes and a genuine sense of grandeur — this sequel fails to stay on the beat.
???? Variety：《小丑2》可能雄心勃勃，但它只是一部过于谨慎的续集。
Joker: Folie à Deux may be ambitious and superficially outrageous, but in a basic way it’s an overly cautious sequel.
???? Times ：菲利普斯和主创们又回到了那个孤独的世界......结果这次杂乱无章、毫无新意，完全是一部根本不想存在、也没有必要存在的电影所呈现的效果。
Phillips and co smashed back into the self-contained world, shook all the contents out on to the carpet and... had another go. The result? Messy, lifeless, derivative and exactly what you’d expect from a film that simply doesn’t want, or need, to exist.
???? IGN Movies：影片被冗长的庭审剧情所拖累，不仅让耀眼的 Lady Gaga 无法成为焦点，而且影片完全围绕前作展开，没有任何新意。
Gets bogged down by a lengthy courtroom saga, which not only keeps the dazzling Lady Gaga away from the spotlight, but centers the movie entirely around its own predecessor, without doing or saying anything new.
???? BBC：影片要么大胆，要么自鸣得意，但绝对没有什么乐趣可言。
Depending on how you look at it, this demythologising exercise is either daring or it's irritatingly smug, but it's definitely not much fun.
????而一些评分3星以上的媒体好评，对华金菲尼克斯、LadyGaga两位演员演技的夸赞。对影片本身似乎没什么赞美之词。
???? Empire Magazine：两个疯子之间会有一段甜蜜诱人的音乐浪漫史。 它的怪诞手法并不适合所有类型的漫画迷，但它找到了一种奇特的、悲剧性的希望。
As sweet and beguiling a musical romance as it’s possible to have between two murderous psychopaths. Its kooky approach won’t suit all stripes of comic-book fan, but it finds a strange, tragic hopefulness all of its own.
???? Hollywood Reporter：Gaga 塑造了一个令人信服的活生生的人物，她在亲和力与痴迷之间游刃有余，同时又可爱地为 Arthur 打了一针... 他们的音乐表演，无论是二重唱还是独唱，都充满了活力，而这正是沉闷的影片所急需的。
Gaga is a compelling live-wire presence, splitting the difference between affinity and obsession, while endearingly giving Arthur a shot... Their musical numbers, both duets and solos, have a vitality that the more often dour film desperately needs.
???? Daily Telegraph (UK)：在冲击力方面无法与第一部相提并论。 但在可怕的暴力紧张感方面却能与前者相媲美：这是一部让人感觉随时都可能燃起熊熊烈火的影片。
Folie à Deux can’t quite match its predecessor for dizzying impact. But it matches it for horrible tinderbox tension: it’s a film you feel might burst into flames at any given moment.
???? The Film Stage：这并不是说这部电影有多疯狂，让你非看不可（事实上，它的疯狂之处就在于它并不疯狂）。而是说，很少有人能像飞利浦和华金-菲尼克斯这样拥有一个平台，可以如此明目张胆地愚弄大众的期待。
It’s not that the film is so crazy that you have to see it (in fact, what’s crazy about it is that it isn’t); rather that few have ever had a platform like Philips and Joaquin Phoenix to fool with expectations of the masses so blatantly.
2019年，第一部《小丑》成功摘得了当年第76届威尼斯电影节最高荣誉的金狮奖。
本周，此时此刻同样正在角逐威尼斯电影节奖项的《小丑2》，你看好它再次捧杯吗？需要特别说明的是，电影节评委通常与观众的评分并不一致。
