Based on the comic book "Here" by Richard McGuire
Story
A generational story about families and the special place they inhabit, about love, loss, laughter and sharing life… It first appeared as a strip in the comic book magazine "Raw" in 1989 and then expanded into a 300-page comic book in 2014. At one point in the film, Richard’s father names several towns that he says are along the Pennsylvania Turnpike, when in fact they are all towns along Interstate 80 in PA, which had not yet been built..

Written by Artie Shaw
Performed by Artie Shaw and his band, courtesy of RCA Records, under arrangement with Sony Music Entertainment. This isn’t a movie for everyone. It tries something different, with a single, focused camera angle and a story that takes place over hundreds (or millions) of years.
But that’s part of the issue that keeps it from being great
There’s little time for each story point, with most scenes taking anywhere from 1-5 minutes before jumping to the next scene. It also takes a while to get going before we get to the heart of the story. If it had focused a little more on our main group of characters, the ending would have had a much greater impact.
There’s also a bit of overkill in how much of it happens in one location
There was also a bit too much CGI, which felt harsh, and the emphasis on having the characters lead the scenes directly to the camera felt a little too forced. At the end, the ‘Here’ is an ambitious film that ultimately fails to deliver a fully satisfying story, as it’s too preoccupied with the idea of showing everything that happened in this one location and makes the camera angle the main focus of the story.
