Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far on Foot | Premieres in U.S. theaters Friday, July 13
Based on a true story, John Callahan, played here by Joaquin Phoenix, was a reckless alcoholic before being paralyzed in a car accident when he was 21. His journey back from the brink sees him find friends in Alcoholics Anonymous while discovering a talent for drawing controversial cartoons. Phoenix gives an awards-worthy performance and disappears into the role. There are further outstanding performances from his supporting cast, including Jonah Hill, Rooney Mara, and Jack Black. And with director Gus Van Sant at the helm, this biopic may already one to watch for the upcoming awards season. — Michael
