Dave C John Callahan wasn't really in my sphere of reference until coming across this biographical drama. JP is absolutely incredible in his role as Callahan, and really delivers believable addictive and self-destructive behaviours, whilst also bringing delightful dark shades of levity Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/06/24 Full Review Ashley H I did get quite bored throughout the film. Shows us a lot about dealing with self anxiety and alcoholic, which was realistic. But not entertaining enough if you don't actually know John Callahan. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/30/23 Full Review Ted B Good performances from all, surprisingly engaging and not overly sentimental when dealing with difficult subject matter. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/24/23 Full Review Mick C I'm mega depressed now. This story was fun, highly enjoyable, depressing, and beautiful. Jonah Hill is the last actor I'd expect to see play such a beautiful role. I don't hear any one talk about this as one of his best roles, but I can honestly say it is! He was amazing as Donnie. Gus Van Sant directed a bunch of great movies in the 90's, and early 00's, but I never seemed to like some of his newer films as much. Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far On Foot, is easily his beat film since Milk. Joaquin Phoenix is just so perfect for any role he plays. I cried every time he cried. I laughed every time he laughed. He is such a phenomenal actor. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/29/23 Full Review Deb G Superb portrayal of a real life journey by Phoenix and Hill. The entire cast's performance was amazing. This is a must see when looking for a heartfelt movie. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/23/23 Full Review isla s This has been categorised as a part comedy film but I wouldn't say its a comedy - certainly not in the traditional sense anyway, its more of a very dark comedy. Its a sombre and thought provoking watch and I enjoyed seeing the various cartoons come to life on screen. Seeing how John came to be in and adapted to his position, how he lets out (some of) his frustration by way of drawing cartoons, it is (certainly somewhat) inspirational. I particularly enjoyed seeing him ride about on his wheelchair at speed, to his hearts content - there is very much a rebellious aspect of John Callaghan's personality which comes across well. I thought Joaquin Phoenix was a good choice of actor to play the main role, as he is known for playing quirky, rebellious characters and this one I thought suited him well. It won't appeal to everyone but it is a decent, if quirky, at times sobering and at others amusing, watch. I suppose ultimately its about self expression, independence and identity. I think fans of Joaquin Phoenix will enjoy seeing him play a distinctly different character, the wheelchair bound artist John Callaghan. I would recommend this to others, yes.
