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

An artful piece of exploitation vérité.

There's a thrilling madness to Phoenix's Method.

Boxoffice Magazine
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?
75
A sad and painful documentary that serves little useful purpose other than to pound another nail into the coffin. Here is a gifted actor who apparently by his own decision has brought desolation upon his head.
