Joker: Folie a Deux, The Outrun, Saturday Night

Movie 1: Joker: Folie a Deux

As a sequel, this movie delves deep into the dark psyche and personality(ies) of the Joker. Part drama and part musical this film is interesting, yet also boring. We found the musical numbers and the soundtrack really good, the drama part not so much. Wide range of reviews nationally and a poor audience turnout so far. If you are a Joker fan, it’s worth a look.

Movie 2: The Outrun

This is a sensitive and personal film about a young Scottish woman and her addiction to alcohol. Beautifully filmed on the windswept and lonely Orkney Islands, this movie portrays a real sense of rehabilitation, hope and community. Saoirse Ronan gives a knockout performance.

Movie 3: Saturday Night

This film highlights the chaotic hours leading up to the October 11, 1975 premier of the TV show Saturday Night Live. The show does a good job of recreating the humor, atmosphere, clothes, drugs of the mid-seventies. If you are a fan of the show, you will enjoy this movie. J.K. Simmons as Milton Berle is perfect.

  1. Wondered about the Joker and glad you reviewed Saturday Night. Will see that. Made it through another hurricane. Hope that’s all for this season.
