I think if anything it has gotten people talking. On top of that it was a masterpiece of cinematography, and many of the scenes, although uncomfortable to watch, certainly kept you stuck on the screen.
For me, those elements alone qualify it as solid entertainment.
I can definitely see why some people would find it self-indulgent though. Phoenix's depictions are often like that, and he definitely come across as someone with an ego in real life. It's hard to know how much of that is real, and how much of that is him building up his persona though. "I'm Still Here" might be the most self-indulgent project (not sure whether I'd call it a movie), that an actor has ever done.
