I'm Still Here

I'm Still Here is a Golden Globe-winning, Oscar-nominated political biography drama that chronicles Eunice Paiva's determined quest to uncover the truth behind her husband's disappearance.


While the story unfolded at a slow pace, it effectively portrayed the oppressive atmosphere of the era. The performances were believable, with the cast working well together to convey the emotional weight of the situation. The attention to detail in the costumes and props further immersed me in the historical setting.

Eunice's resilience in the face of danger was a central theme, and the film highlighted her remarkable accomplishments in the aftermath of her husband's disappearance. Her story served as a powerful reminder of the importance of remembering history, particularly given the current political climate in some countries. The film's timely message about the need to acknowledge and learn from the past, even in the face of resistance, resonated strongly.

The film suffered from a lack of in-depth character development, particularly for the children and even the main characters. This made it difficult to fully invest in their emotional journeys.

Despite these issues I'm Still Here’s recognition was understandable, as it shed light on a crucial historical moment and the enduring strength of the human spirit.
