Customer Ratings & Reviews

I just love Joaquin Phoenix. He is so versatile and always does an interesting take on any character he plays. Here, he is at his best playing a part that could have been very static. Not him. Wild, crazy and delightful.

This movie is just scary how it shows alcoholics when they’re at their peak. This is about an alcoholic who became pretty much paralyzed after an accident involving him and his friend. The story is very dark and depressing. Then how he rose to become one of the well known cartoon artist.

Phoenix is great as always but very surprised and impressed with Black and Hill. This movie is a lot more complete than you may believe from first glance.

The movie is a slow burn and some scenes didn't necessarily need to be in the finished product but all together this is a great true story.

Bought it on a whim and was a great watch and had some timeline jumps but other than that a good movie.

This movie is definitely worth checking it, it’s based on a true story and has a great cast.

Joaquin phoenix is good in everything, sg o I knew would be worth a watch

Great performances all across the board! Joaquin is exceptional!

Excellent cast for the drama. I didn't know it was a true story.

You can never go wrong with this actor and this director.

This film is funny and sincere, but nuanced in a way that really makes you reflect well after it’s over

All around a good movie. The acting from Phoenix is worth giving it a shot if you are unsure.

Great movie with an awesome inspirational story! Gus Van Sant does it again!

Starts slow but a very good movie. Extremely sad, get your tissue ready

Another Joaquin Phoenix masterpiece. Looking forward to Joker.

A great script and acting really brings this movie together.

I really loved this film Jonah Hill and Phoenix were great.

This movies is awesome! Great addition to my collection.

Great performances but ultimately this film feels like a sales pitch for A.A.

This is the story of a cartoonist who had to recover from self-doubt and bad habits before he could find his calling and earn both respect from others and a comfortable living. Injured in an auto wreck as a young adult, he was left wheelchair bound for life (and he lived on for several decades). Demon rum put him in the chair, and demon run kept him in shackles for a long time, but friends and good luck finally turned his life around.
