Peter Martin ScreenAnarchy Fledgling filmmaker Jonathan Baker opens up to a startling degree about the perils and pleasures of making his debut feature. Sep 22, 2022 Full Review Carey-Ann Pawsey Orca Sound What you get at the end of all this is that the guy is slightly off and a narcissist. He has the ego of someone who has made a million successful films. Rated: 2.5/5 Sep 17, 2022 Full Review CJ Sheu Review Film Review Don’t watch it. Aug 30, 2022 Full Review Federico Furzan Movie-Blogger.com A surprisingly interesting journey into the life of Jonathan Baker, a film director who had the face the dark side of production studios when making his feature film debut. Rated: 3.5/5 May 23, 2021 Full Review Alan Ng Film Threat Becoming Iconic tells you how to be a leader on set and manage everyone around you from crew to studio without killing yourself of sheer exhaustion. You're going to pay a few bucks to see this film. Rated: 4/5 Feb 1, 2018 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film [Jonathan] Baker seems determined to proclaim his genius to a world that has not as yet seen evidence of it, and Hollywood is littered with fallen stars who can testify to the folly of his claim that one only has to achieve success once. Rated: 2/5 Dec 6, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member I just saw this documentary, Jonathan Baker and his crew of superstars tell it the way it is . This film is fresh,? fun and tells the truth about filmmaking. Bakers superstar cast tell the same story as him. Anyone in film school should see this film before they make a film.. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member I was in awe of the stories of the directors involved in this film and just hats off to them. Jonathan Baker's journey is one that demands to be shared indeed. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member It was too long for me, but at the same time I appreciated the content of the documentary. I am glad to have watched it alongside the others who were equally as surprised about the film as I was, I think. Overall, this is a must-watch. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting concept could be fun with that cast Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Becoming Iconic will be my film bible and keep coming back for it whenever I feel down with making my movies, or actually anything in life. Jonathan Baker himself is an inspiration! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member I am a fan of Jodie Foster and this is the reason why I saw this with my friends. Initially I thought I was going to be bored but it surprised me how hooked I got the moment Jonathan Baker started saying quotes like "Success is success, it doesn't travel across.." this will definitely go on my twitter statuses, it's so inspiring. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
