Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work Ratings & Reviews
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
Welcome to the on-screen psychoanalysis of Joan Rivers, of which she seems equal parts willing participant and antagonist.
Detroit News
Tom Long
The undeniably fascinating and entertaining documentary that looks at the audacious entertainer in the seventy-fifth year of her life.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Joe Williams
Acting is about honesty, and there's something evasive about both this film and its subject.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
A compulsively watchable look at Rivers, show business and the price one pays to try to continue succeeding in it.
Dallas Morning News
Christopher Kelly
It's one of the best movies ever made about the brutal and unforgiving world of show business, and what it takes to survive in it for decades.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
Were James Brown still with us, he'd have to at least share his "hardest working man in showbiz" honors with Rivers.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
The insecurities that seem to feed Rivers's often angry humor -- and that have left her face looking like a mask frozen in horror -- are left unexamined.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
By the end of Stern and Sundberg's portrait, you feel a great fondness for this tough cookie, who says she plans for her career to outlast George Burns' -- who was still working in his mid-90s.
CinemaBlend
Perri Nemiroff
If you think it's going to be as hilarious as a Joan Rivers standup routine, you're wrong. The self-mocking jokes are funny, but almost make you feel guilty for laughing.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
But it all happened, the truths of the film so indisputably poignant I'm aghast at just how much they moved and intoxicated me.
Reel Talk Online
Candice Frederick
A Piece of Work is a refreshing look at a reluctant legend, one who's still using all her might to break barriers for the rest of us to get a real kick out of.
Austin Chronicle
Kimberley Jones
An entirely sympathetic portrait of the artist at an advancing age.
Baltimore Magazine
Max Weiss
You will leave this film remembering that Joan Rivers is one very funny woman (albeit a vulgar one). You will also see her as a woman of great strength, a true show biz survivor.
Newsday
Caryn James
... pretty funny.
Movie Retriever
Brian Tallerico
A fascinating, enlightening look at the dark side of show business and the issues that come with being a part of it for decades.
Paste Magazine
Nick Schager
A witty, inspiring portrait of a life in constant reinvention.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work is one of the smarter, more unexpectedly touching documentaries of the year, and I recommend it to you whether you love Rivers or loathe the very thought of her. How is this even possible?
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work is [a] testament to the enduring resilience and indefatigable wit of its subject. Age cannot wither her, nor Botox stale her infinite hilarity.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Rivers comes across as a consummate professional but also a genuine person, ruthlessly honest about her life decisions and utterly devoid of self-pity.
