STILL HERE

Cinemavixion Review

In "Still Here," director Vlad Feier crafts a somber narrative centered on the disappearance of a young African-American girl in New York City. The film gains traction through its exploration of journalistic responsibility and societal indifference, as a journalist, portrayed by Johnny Whitworth, initially dismisses the case before becoming deeply invested. Zazie Beetz and Afton Williamson lend their talents to a story that, despite its grim subject matter, strives to highlight the importance of individual action in the face of systemic neglect. While the film garnered a modest reception, with a 5.5 rating on IMDb and a 25% on Rotten Tomatoes, its dedication to a compelling, albeit bleak, human drama makes it a noteworthy, if challenging, watch. The narrative's tension builds as the journalist races against time, underscoring the urgency often overlooked in such tragic circumstances.
