Some of the movie is funny in a hungover , `` Entourage '' -meets-Christopher Guest sort of way . ` ` I ' m Still Here '' follows Joaquin Phoenix 's self - righteous exit from acting . In the movie , Phoenix is a hollow , bloated shell of his former self . The film 's brutal honesty is , in the end , its own justification .
