The film 'Here' employs a unique storytelling technique that observes the passage of time through a static camera, allowing viewers to witness generations interacting without moving from the living room.
Despite its artistic ambition, 'Here' falters under the weight of contrived storytelling, particularly with moments that awkwardly force characters into significant historical contexts.
The characterization of the Harrises, the only Black family in the narrative, appears clumsy as their story pivots solely around harsh realities like police violence, detracting from the film's broader themes.
While 'Here' seeks to reflect on life through shared spaces, it ultimately succumbs to sentimentality, making it a larger-than-life yet misguided exploration of entwined fates.
