    Time Out New York | Joshua Rothkopf

    Is Joaquin Phoenix putting us on? After watching the terrifying, near-brilliant expos I'm Still Here, in which the Oscar nominee's public and private unraveling becomes a sick joke, the question doesn't matter. Read full review

    Boxoffice Magazine | Pam Grady

    I'm Still Here does leave us with one big question mark: What will Phoenix do next? How will he top such a flamboyant caper? Read full review

    Los Angeles Times | Kenneth Turan

    Fake or not, I'm Still Here is no fun to watch, and in fact Phoenix's situation comes off as so dire that it becomes a reason to doubt the film's authenticity. Filming someone having a mental breakdown is embarrassing and exploitative at best. Read full review

    USA Today | Claudia Puig

    It's really not much fun - in fact it's painful - to watch an actor on the verge of a nervous breakdown. It almost doesn't matter if the psyche in question is imploding artificially - as in staged - or organically. Read full review
