I'm Still Here

What to Know

Critics Consensus

As unkempt and inscrutable as Joaquin Phoenix himself, I'm Still Here raises some interesting questions about its subject, as well as the nature of celebrity, but it fails to answer many of them convincingly.

This movie has to be seen to be simultaneously believed and disbelieved. Go to Full Review

A clever stunt that shrewdly wrestles with issues of fame, truth and self. Go to Full Review

Casy Affleck is trying to claim that I'm Still Here is 'gonzo film-making'. And I'm right with him on that point. It DOES look like it was made by a muppet. Go to Full Review

As a silly, throwaway comedy it works fine. But a missed opportunity none-the-less... Go to Full Review

Rumor has it that Casey Affleck went broke making this film. Good, at least he won't be self-financing anymore films. Go to Full Review

David F @dfulmer Dec 24 Really self-indulgent, and to what end? See more elisangela c Jan 25 This film shows the political reality and part of the recent history of Brazil, a true history lesson and wonderful interpretation by Fernanda Torres See more Cole N 03/21/2024 The level that the satire goes to and how many people were fooled by it is impressive. 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 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 Jon W @Watchdown101 08/17/2023 What an interesting piece of what many call performance art. it did however fool many of us which is what they to happen. i found it to be somewhat funny and somewhat a take on what it means to be famous. many critics hated this film and for the right reason. made me think that Aflect and Phoenix could of done something else with their time and money. the film if that is what you wanna call it was worth the watch for the first time. i am a fan of Phoenix and have been for a long time, but this is not what made me become a fan of him. Aflect and Phoenix made their point with this movie. we are all obsessed with watching celebs fall apart. but maybe we shouldn't be. See more Richard L @KaneLives 04/01/2023 No idea what Joaquin's idea behind this film was, but it's not interesting, it's not impressive, and it seems to have nothing to say whatsoever. Great ending sequence though. What an absolute madlad. See more Read all reviews
