Paul Schrader, the acclaimed screenwriter behind Taxi Driver, didn't hold back when criticizing Joker: Folie à Deux. Schrader slammed the film and took aim at the cast, delivering scathing remarks about their performances. Read on for all the details behind his brutal takedown of one of the year's most anticipated films!

Both film critics and audiences heavily criticized the sequel to the 2019 Joker film.
'I go to the movies based on what’s being released. I watched Joker: Folie à Deux and I could only last 25 minutes. Even that was enough to declare it a really bad musical.'
He added in the interview, 'I don’t like them. I don’t like either of them. I don’t like them as characters, and I don’t like anything about them. These are the kind of people you’d run out the back door if they came to your house.'
