“Here” Movie Review
Manage episode 448406720 series 10748
Rated PG-13
Opens: November 1, 2024
Kevin says Here kinda sucks!
Tom Hanks and Robin Wright reunite with director Robert Zemeckis for a new film.
HERE tells the story of a home, starting from wilderness in prehistoric times to the life of (mostly) one family. Hanks and Wright play a couple we see go from high school to retirement and the struggles they face over the years.
Zemeckis is a talented director, but he often gets distracted by gimmick filmmaking. And make no mistake, HERE’s one camera set-up perspective is the ultimate gimmick. It’s got some interesting moments, but it is loaded with challenges.
HERE tries to show a mosaic of American families, but struggles to avoid idealizing even the toughest times. And with the fly-on-the-wall perspective, too many moments feel like the stilted opening scene of a stage play. Only the acting of Hanks and Wright carry us beyond that.
As real as the human experiences are in this film, this reality reveals too many insufferable characters I couldn’t care less about.
Technically impressive but dull from the story perspective, HERE gets two bay windows out of five. I’m Kevin Carr, and that’s the way I see it.
