A robotic message on his answering machine reminds him that due to nonpayment his electricity will be turned off at midnight. His mother’s message includes the sad news that someone he once loved has died. Any sound, any reminder that he is still here ...

- Conclusion: I’m Not Here
After watching the trailer and reading the synopsis, one is immediately reminded of Terrence Malick’s polarizing The Tree of Life from 2011. Both depict an older, disillusioned man reflecting on his youth to achieve clarity in his present. They each also happen to depict a raging war between the nurturing maternal (Mandy Moore) and volatile paterna...
What’s more, for a story depicting the absolute necessity of enriching relationships that can only be offered through authentic human connection, the moments presented in the film feel eons from anything genuine or emotionally affecting. We have a lukewarm first date predicated on nothing other than physical attraction, a contrived courtroom scene ...
Overall, despite the large questions it establishes at the onset, I’m Not Here offers no answers or satisfying catharsis (even with the rare post-credits scene, which is virtually unheard of for an indie film). While the film aims for a final release of emotion as Steve finally comes to terms with his past, the audience is instead presented with an...

Mar 2, 2019 · It’s a mopey, wallowing in the too-obvious point it never gets around to making. “I’m Not Here” is never more than a short, morose melodrama whose chief shortcoming is that there’s not more that’s new, that there’s not more “here” here. MPAA Rating: unrated. Cast: J.K. Simmons, Sebastian Stan, Maika Monroe, Mandy Moore.
