I'm Still Here
Overview
I'm Still Here is a portrayal of a tumultuous year in the life of actor Joaquin Phoenix. With remarkable access, the film follows the Oscar-nominee as he announces his retirement from a successful film career in the fall of 2008 and sets off to reinvent himself as a hip-hop musician. The film is a portrait of an artist at a crossroads and explores notions of courage and creative reinvention, as well as the ramifications of a life spent in the public eye.

Andres Gomez (Rated: 4)
I do not really get the point of this movie.
It really looks to me like a big internal joke between Affleck and Phoenix that is extended in time by far too long.
I have to praise Phoenix's performance but the character itself is too laughable to be kept for that long.
Anyway, an interesting...
