One of the finest performances of the year so far comes from Israeli actor Shai Avivi as Aharon, the father who has put his own life and career on hold to care for his autistic son Uri. Go to Full Review Leslie Felperin Guardian 07/21/2021
4/5
Moving but unsentimental, this Israeli drama is a perfect example of how a cinematic story becomes paradoxically more universal by being very specific about people and places. Go to Full Review Erick Estrada Cinegarage 06/22/2022
In a rare mix of tones, 'Here We Are' brings us the seriousness of comedy, the harshness of humor, the gut-wrenching similarities of crying and laughing, and the contradictory takeaway, that pain heals us. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Hannah Brown Jerusalem Post 02/17/2022
At the end, you will be glad that you spent 90 minutes with Aharon and Uri, and be thinking about them long after the credits have rolled. Go to Full Review Sergi Sánchez Fotogramas 10/18/2021

Justin M 04/19/2024 Heart warming and beautiful story See more Chelsea P 03/23/2024 A beautiful film about a father's love, for a son who happens to be neurodiverse. Very moving, brilliantly acted and 100% recommended. See more 02/20/2022 Fantastic Movie!! A film full of humanity and sensitivity, outstanding acting. We continue to think about it long after the screening. See more 01/31/2022 "Here We Are, in a beautiful way, strikes a chord with autism and its role in families." "Here We Are", is an Israeli-Italian production that shows all the obstacles that a father must go through to ensure that his son, with autism, has a chance to be happy. Full of passion and life, the film gains strength thanks to their performances. Aharon and Uri are the protagonists of this story; a drama that raises the dilemma that parents have when choosing the best for their children. On the one hand, we have Aharon who believes he is doing the right thing guided solely by the love he feels for his son; His mother, on the other hand, believes that Uri needs not only love, but specialized care to treat his autism. "Touching road movie about the father-son relationship" See more Read all reviews
