Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work

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.

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.

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.

This extraordinary documentary follows 14 months in Joan's life during the late 2000s and reveals her to be a fretful but essentially likeable personality who spends her entire existence railing against retirement.
