Jim Schembri The Age (Australia) Sadly, the strong performances that were needed to sell this tough drama just aren't there. Rated: 1/5 Jun 16, 2011 Full Review Philippa Hawker The Age (Australia) Quietly, and with an unobtrusive grace, Here I Am explores harsh truths, everyday realities and intimations of change. Rated: 3.5/5 Jun 2, 2011 Full Review David Stratton At the Movies (Australia) Unfortunately, Cole's decision to cast non-professional actors in many roles doesn't pay off; in too many scenes, both Langton and Pittman are awkward and visibly uncomfortable playing their roles, and this reduces the film's impact. Rated: 3/5 Jun 1, 2011 Full Review Andrew F. Peirce The Curb This kind of tragedy can be oppressive, but there's moments of beautiful comedy - mostly from Betty Sumner's Anita - and inviting moments of warmth. Apr 4, 2020 Full Review David Michael Brown Empire Magazine Australasia Here it is, a solid and heartfelt debut. Rated: 3 Jul 4, 2011 Full Review Leigh Paatsch Herald Sun (Australia) The tedious direction of Beck Cole mistakenly assumes mood matters more than character development. Rated: 2/5 Jun 2, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member pretty powerful movie and excellent acting. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Just wanted there to be something a little more to it. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Here I Am is a soap opera slice of life through the eyes of a reformed junkie Aboriginal mother who wants to reconnect with her young daughter. The use of non-professionals at times leads for what can simply be called bad acting and there is an occasional bout of hectoring, but as the film settles in there is a genuine drama being played out here. It's nobody's film of the eyar, but is a worthwhile film to see, even if I am wondering how soon the new stereotype of indigenous people as being uniformly heavy smoking heavy drinking country music loving sensitive types will wear thin. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
