| The Age (Australia)Philippa HawkerQuietly, and with an unobtrusive grace, Here I Am explores harsh truths, everyday realities and intimations of change. |
| Herald Sun (Australia)Leigh PaatschThe tedious direction of Beck Cole mistakenly assumes mood matters more than character development. |
| The Age (Australia)Jim SchembriSadly, the strong performances that were needed to sell this tough drama just aren't there. |
| User ReviewNaomi Rpretty powerful movie and excellent acting. |
| User ReviewMelissa BHere I Am is a soap opera slice of life through the eyes of a reformed junkie Aboriginal mother who wants to reconnect with her young daughter. The use of non-professionals at times leads for what can simply be called bad acting and there is an occasional bout of hectoring, but as the film settles in there is a genuine drama being played out here. It's nobody's film of the eyar, but is a worthwhile film to see, even if I am wondering how soon the new stereotype of indigenous people as being uniformly heavy smoking heavy drinking country music loving sensitive types will wear thin. |
