Review of I'm Still Here (2010) by Anthony I — 22 Jul 2016
Remember that time when everyone thought that Joaquin Phoenix went AWOL from acting and became a rapper? Remember when everyone thought he went nuts because of his bizarre appearance on Letterman? Well, it was all a set up for a mockumentary.
.. and it's one of the worst ones of all time. This is a pretentious, garbled, unfunny mess. The fiction is far less entertaining than what we thought was reality. He thought he was the next Andy Kaufman, as did many.
But by the section of the film that featured the Letterman interview, I only wished that Jerry Lawler came out on to the stage and smacked Joaquin off of his chair. I'm a lover of all kinds of cinema, but I can't stand the self aggrandizement of the Hollywood celebrity.
Some of these people just live in total fantasy.
