Phillip W @Philcm8099 1h This is a made up movie about J Phoenix who is leaving acting and wants to be a hip hop singer. It is constantly stopping and starting and in my opinion simply stupid. I wish I had the time I spent watching the movie back. It may have some true life parts but Phoenix plays a person that is so dumb that it is hard to believe he was ever a good actor before. IMO -- Don't waste your time on this movie. BTW -- I'm glad I only paid $3 for the movie and I immediately threw it away. See more Andrew R @RT39097518 Mar 13 An incredibly polarizing film. You either LOVE it or HATE, you either get it or you don't, there's no in betweens as it's pretty much split 50/50 tomatoes score shows. Personally I am in the "LOVE IT" category. I'm actually surprised by it's tomato score. I thought it was genius. Genius in the way legendary comedian Andy Kaufman was, genius in the way The Blair Witch Project fooled so many people. If Andy Kaufman and The Blair Witch Project had a baby, I'm Still Here would be the result. I didn't understand why it was so polarizing, it's like people were angry it WASN'T real.... which is a bit disturbing, or audiences were offended that it WAS real and shamed everyone involved for taking advantage of and profiting off of a man clearly falling apart before audiences eyes. And THAT is part of the true genius of I'm Still Here as well. That was part of the point and people fell for it and didn't even realize it! And only an extremely gifted, talented actor like Phoenix can sell it. GREAT See more David F @dfulmer Dec 24 Really self-indulgent, and to what end?

There are many moments when there's a question on who's "in" or not, and if it's even a joke at all. There are funny moments throughout. Nevertheless it's kind of a boring watch, it feels like nothing really happens and it ends. I wouldn't want to watch it again, but as a sort of committed and experimental satire project it's somewhat interesting and entertaining. See more Kyle M @RT77296778 01/17/2024 Experimentally attempted gravitas that evoked honest examination on celebrity culture, fitting under Joaquin Phoenix's complex filter blandly meeting dated attentive results and blurry artistic focus. Phoenix's misdirecting endeavor, which some argued being a performative stunt, may have been reviewed as mixed albeit initial compel but his exploitive journey seems to have accomplished what he wanted to venture, therefore becoming the main takeaway beneath his "comeback" or then-current status. It also could be argued that this could be considered an essential brick to his stardom. (B-) See more Read all reviews
