Are You Still Here

About This Movie

So, 'Are You Still Here' kind of stands out in a subdued way. It’s this intimate drama that follows Jazmine as she grapples with her recent loss, and the film's pacing feels almost like a slow walk through grief. There’s something unique about how the quest for a sweet treat becomes a metaphor for searching for comfort, you know? The atmosphere is heavy yet tender, accentuated by its minimalistic practical effects that really ground the story. Performances feel raw and relatable, capturing those moments of vulnerability without overacting. It’s not flashy, but it has this quiet strength that resonates. Definitely a film that lingers long after the credits roll, kind of like that bittersweet taste of the treat she’s after.
