I'm Not Here

Excellent story showing struggles of an old drunk man who fights his addiction all his life, slowly ruining it till he's left alone. The storyline is short and filled with really touching moments. Definitely recommend.

I have to agree, in the beginning I kept thinking this movie is too slow (but now I have to see what happens). All of you leave reviews like you're writers, don't expect intelligent review comments here lol. I just want to know If the ending is implying the fate of Trevor was changed ? Or did Steven die and see him in heaven. I don't get it. King of made me think of Frequency and how their contact changed everything so that's why my mind went that way.

This film was a thinker. You have to make yourself think, and when you think you know what will happen, you are wrong. You wish you weren't, but sadly, you were wrong. Great film. JK Simmons was epic, and he didn't have to say anything. He just emoted through his role, and I felt for him -- hook, line and sinker. Sebastian Stan is good, sells us his 'version' of Steve, and we pay it. Iain Armitage is wondrous as Little Stevie, and is the future of Hollywood.

As a mature adult male, I saw so many parallels to my own life/loves/mistakes/regrets that it was hard to watch at some points. But isn't that what good films can do? Take you so deep into the character (J.K.Simmons is great!) that you feel their pain. A must see for anyone who's ever made a mistake in their life and felt alone.

Acting at every age level in this film is exceptional from C.K. Simmons on down. Cute kids offset the struggles of their parents in this story. Tender couples scenes and family moments help soften the extreme regrets and personal isolation depicted to have resulted from alcoholism. There is no happy, heroic rehabilitation shown here. But the human foils and frailties are worth watching.
