    Opened My Eyes

Not only is this about the funny Joan Rivers, but about how the industry works. I wanted to see more of her standup funny parts, but it's still good. You think Hollywood stars have it made. Think again. I loved to know the other side of the coin. She worked very hard in an industry that favors beauty. Miss her standup and her commentaries on Fashion Police. She had a mouth, that's for sure, but so did the other greats, like Phyllis Diller and Don Rickles whom she loved and mentioned on this video.

    "I'll Do Something Funny...'Cause I'm A Funny Person" - Joan Rivers
  

*by S***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2013*

Joan Rivers passed away on September 4th, 2014 and for every person who held her in the highest regard as myself, this came as an altogether shock. If we will all take the time to listen and laugh at all she added to our lives (in particular this honest Blu-ray of her life), I feel it would be a tribute to an unreplaceable woman, a star in her own right and a woman, mother and grandmother that gave our lives so much humor, joy, and laughter. "A Piece of Work" shows Ms. Rivers with all her personality, her helpful nature while visiting, and talking with people in New York City and the love and drive she had for life.  Joan Rivers was truly a pioneer for women in comedy and she will always be so missed."Can we talk?"... As Joan Rivers takes the stage in her own docudrama, you are immediately drawn into her private conversations.  She boldly starts confronting the issues presented in her life; the comedy and love of performance that defined her while she stared at the empty spaces on her calendar's booking schedule.  With an unshakable drive and a heavy focus on staying on top, Ms. Rivers gets right back into the game without batting an eye.She is discussing her life here, letting us know how she got her big break.  That vehicle was 'The Tonight Show' Starring Johnny Carson.  She took the opportunity to blow away the audience with new and fresh comedy and a special intention towards women and issues that mainly went unsaid, until then.  She was brazen, honest, acerbic and so extremely funny that Carson promised her that she will "Be a star".  Her injected pieces of stand-up bits are unapologetically raw, irreverent and hysterical...I have viewed this so often and still find something even bolder than the previous time."All stand-ups are innately insecure" adds her daughter, Melissa, to this discussion.  Joan got down to the real nitty-gritty here and completely targeted her own emotional vulnerability.  The issue is her husband's suicide, the crushing pain she was obviously still carrying, and her relationship with Melissa through all of this.  When asked if she is angry, she counters, "If you're not angry about things then what are you talking about?".The ambitious workhorse that was Ms. Rivers would not tire.  The pacing of the documentary and her own life is consuming as she takes on a city after another city and a gig after another gig.  Joan asks for no apologies either, as another show is what drove her.Altogether shocking, altogether real, altogether Joan's "Piece of Work"...A true trailblazer; she will never be replaced nor forgotten.

    The story of an amazing and beautiful human being who made a difference in the world
  

*by C***A on Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2016*

I saw this movie when it first came out and was really surprised by how NOT funny it was. But it was not funny in a really good way. It featured the real Joan and who she was as a person. She's often just seen as a funny and brash comedienne, but she was 1,000 times bigger and better as a human being.This documentary brings up a lot of interesting things. For one, she says that no man had ever told her she was beautiful, not even her husband. She had a good marriage but he never said she was beautiful.She says that she was never anyone's first pick for anything in her life – always seconds. I find this inspirational because, despite never being "chosen" first, she accepted the offers and showed the world who she was. She didn't feel pretty, she didn't feel first, but she used what she had (a lot of smarts) and made lemonade out of the lemons. Big time. I always thought she was very attractive and had a lot of style.There are parts of this film that made me want to cry. She says at one point in the film that any time a car showed up for her to take her somewhere, she always said thank you and felt gratitude for what she was given in life. That is a poignant moment in the film. Joan was an extremely generous person and cared for everyone who came into her life. She paid her staff excellent salaries, put all of their children through school (including college) and covered all of their healthcare. Even after her death, Melissa is still taking care of these people, per Joan's wishes. She was a great lady.Melissa appears in the documentary but more briefly than expected. It is important to note that Joan raised a daughter who also embraces the same values and continues her mother's legacy. Between this documentary and the series, Joan and Melissa, I think you get a good picture of the kind of person Joan was, behind all of the jokes and gags.Joan was a rare celebrity who actually remembered from whence she came. She didn't have to die when she did. What a travesty.Definitely recommend.
