Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work

Joan Rivers is a warrior in an unconventional sense. Yes, she refuses to give up as much of the stage, attention and warmth from the spotlight as we shall allow her. But why? Because she stepped on stage at a very young age and loved that much, yet we have since moved on past her as a collective. We have chosen to focus on her prodigy and tossed aside the innovator. This is a shame, a travesty eve... read more

"A documentary on the life and career of Joan Rivers, made as the comedienne turns 75 years old. I found this quite humbling. Nice to see the alternative Joan Rivers.. not just a funny & ballsy comedienne but also a relentless, hard-working & ordinary woman. I expected some diva moments in there but the reality was endearing."

"A surprisingly interesting look at someone I never paid much mind. Not exceptional, but worth a watch."

Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work

“Joan Rivers is a warrior in an unconventional sense. Yes, she refuses to give up as much of the stage, attention and warmth from the spotlight as we shall allow her. But why? Because she stepped on stage at a very young age and loved that much, yet we have since moved on past her as a collective. We have chosen to focus on her prodigy and tossed aside the innovator. This is a shame, a travesty even. She is as sharp, biting, funny and shocking as ever. Even at 75 (her age when this was filmed), Joan Rivers is as abrasive and honest as ever refusing to go quietly into the long, dark night. We should embrace her much more than we have for all she has offered us.

Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work is the single greatest tool for that argument. Even once we have deemed them old and no longe” read more
