Definitely one of the more interesting movies I've seen in a long time. Not sure why people don't like this more than they do

Most amusing.

I'm Still Here starts out as an interesting exploration of the celebrity culture, and the treatment of celebrities by the media, but seems to lose its focus over the course of the film, ending on an oddly lazy-feeling ambiguous note. There are some great moments, such as Phoenix reaction to himself on Letterman, and his visit to P Diddy, but they're accompanied by pointless scenes. Still Here doesn't fall completely short, nor does it feel like a complete, satisfying film when the credits roll.

A complete failure on every level.

This movie was surprisingly awesome, can't believe more people didn't love it. So over the top, funny and strange it's hard not to love and knowing that he was just fucking with us all the entire time makes it even better. JP has some sick rhymes fo real. My favorite scenes are when he orders the hookers, gets into a fight at the rap concert and gets pooped on. Best actor of 2010: Joaquin Phoenix.

A sad, ugly, hilarious study of celebrity. The raw emotional power of Joaquin Phoenix makes it truly difficult to determine what is real, even when you know the answer.

This film is an interesting experiment. There are some slow moments but overall I would recommend this movie. It is interesting look at being a celebrity and the plus and minuses that go with being famous.

I don't know about this movie...

JP completely trolled us hard and put on one of the greatest, most elaborate hoaxes of all time. He dedicated himself and sacrificed an entire year of his life to play this part. You can actually tell at certain points he truly believes in what he's doing. I'm Still Here gives us a very unique perspective of the carnival that is Hollywood and stardom, while one man at the top of his career can step back and remove himself from the equation just to fuck with it. Genius...

The stunt is ultimately more remarkable than the film itself, but it's still entertaining.

Tiresome but also a study in top notch method acting.

Hoax or not, it's brilliant either way. If it's indeed a hoax then Joaquin is a truly amazing actor. He plays his part brilliantly, especially the Letterman interview. A truly amazing performance. It does a great job of showing the fickle nature of the media and people. If it's all true then it's a really disturbing story of a man making a fool out of himself, with his friends just standing by and encouraging him. I don't really like rap music but I'd buy his album.

The only reason I like this as much as I do is because of the parallels to Andy Kaufman, anyone who can pull off a Kaufman routine for an entire year is A-OK in my book. The mockumentary itself is so-so in just about every regard except for Phoenix himself, who is excellent in this movie about himself (but it's not really).

The whole experience is unique. It touches so many things in popular culture while showing you a performance of a lifetime.

This has teached me 1 thing... if your famous and you really go out of control a lot of people actually encourage it instead of helping...

This would have been much better if it was about JP's ability to convince Hollywood of his career change and about the obsessive nature of people with celebrity lives. What we're left with is sort of partially about that but with too much obnoxious overacting.

Genuinely strange "documentary" showing Phoenix in a savage and ugly fall from grace and sanity. The issue of "hoax or not" is irrelevant; one can't imagine it does wonders for Phoenix's (or Affleck's) reputation either way you cut it, as Phoenix's behaviour is *so* peculiar. A certain amount of respect must go to Phoenix for his willingness to commit to what appears to be a fictional version of himself, but the actual point and relevance of the film remains a mystery. And lay off Danny DeVito!!

Not the rumination on celebrity culture that it seemingly wants to be (unless the intention was to simply fuck with the audience), but I have to give credit to Phoenix for his commitment. He never shies away from making a complete fool of himself, and the result is sometimes awkwardly hilarious.

Featuring a truly incredible display of acting and grand reflections on celebrity, self, and sniffing butt holes.

Not so great as all ye say. An amazing marketing scheme, a lousy film.

It doesn't matter whether it's fake, people. If Phoenix's performance on Letterman is fake, it's no less fake than the hundreds of performances preceding it. Phoenix and Affleck purposefully blur the lines between actor and role and imply that identity, divorced from performance, is nothing; here's a man sick of playing a commodity but who, once he stops, loses his semblance of self entirely. I'm Still Here rages irreverently against the intangibility & fleetingness at the heart of the self.

Perhaps less hilarious the second time than when i saw it in theaters, but it remains a brave and audacious piece of work. Phoenix's "performance" really is insane and completely amazing, and Affleck pulls off a better "fake documentary" behind the camera than many who try. There are an endless amount of films probing the fiction/reality divide and celebrity culture, but that doesn't prevent the film from raising interesting issues. That it doesn't pretend to "shed light" on them is irrelevant.

"The crux of I'm Still Here is the same as the one central to most of Lars von Trier's filmic pranks: How far can one mess with one's audience while feigning sincerity?" - Simon Abrams

Even knowing the truth it still works as an interesting character study. Has a lot of pacing issues that had me checking the time a lot, but still has some incredible moments.

Cool that Phoenix did some trolling. Besides his hair there's not much else to it. Intially interesting, just doesn't hold out.

i got rick rolle'd.

This was fucking hillarious !!! ... but lets be serious for a minute. This may be one of the best performances of our times. I rather watch this than Borat, but maybe it's not a good comparison.

How awesome would it be to get life advice from Edward James Almos? Highlight of the film. I sort of wish this was real so that we'd have footage of some gay dude taking a shit on Joaquin Phonix's face while he was passed out. Oh well.

If I'm Still Here was a true story, it would be a sad tale about a man who took it too far and found out too late. However, Casey Affleck revealed that everything Joaquin Phoenix did was all a hoax. Because that's the case, I can easily call Joaquin's work in this film an excellent performance. It saddens me that he won't get any recognition for this, because I was moved by his performance. It might be a hoax, but it feels so real. Some of it has to be real...

I'm glad that this was a hoax, but I can't help thinking that Joaquin probably acts similarly in real life (eccentric and moody).

Just not that fun to watch. The show at the club at the end is great but with the admittance of this being a hoax right off the bat it came off as a long, drawn out joke told to you by a racy uncle.
