Ananda J 09/12/2024 This film, while the larger theme is ending one's life, is a tender story and is a story of someone in pain going on out on their own terms. While there is physical pain for Anna Camp's character, the pain she and others are able to get tthrough while she is still alive is important. Very important relationships, funny, endearing. Joe Lo Trugilo does an amazing job with his phobia ridden character and is a scene stteeler in nearly every scene he is in. KUDOS to this indie film and the indie filmmakers behind it. This film should have seen a MUCH BROADER audience. Looks like it came out right as the pandemic hit. Watch it and if you agree with me, spread the word. Oh by the way, it's a tearjerker. keep the Kleenex tissues nearby. See more 05/31/2021 Speechless very gripping move.

See more 07/13/2020 Here Awhile is a compelling, engaging and thought-provoking movie about a young woman, Anna, who is dying from cancer. She moves to Oregon in order to access its Death with Dignity Act. The acting by Anna Camp and the entire cast is superb. The story is beautifully written and manages to strike the ideal balance between serious and levity. It also does an excellent job capturing the reality that one can both desperately want to live and be able to accept the inevitability of their death. While the focus is on dying on one's own terms, the movie also touches upon several other issues including sexual identity, aspergers, mental health, and more. While the movie is about death, what it really demonstrates is key themes around love, acceptance, and compassion. See more 06/17/2020 It was a great look into the humanity of this situation.
