Sight & Sound

Given Torres’s brilliant, understated performance and Salles’s deep understanding of what he’s trying to achieve, the film would stand as a shining, thoroughly convincing exception.

The New Indian Express

[Fernanda] Torres encapsulates the many thoughts, meanings and motifs underlying the film in her resolute persona, and propels its narrative by her powerful presence.

Film Frenzy

Of all the winners at the recent Academy Awards ceremony, the one that gave me the most joy was I’m Still Here taking the Best International Feature Oscar, as it truly was one of last year's very best films.

Rated: 3.5/4

Yasser Medina

Cinefilia

Salles' historical drama features a competent performance from Fernanda Torres, but, unfortunately, in its political zeal to be didactic, it stumbles with a ductile narrative about the memory and resistance of a family. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 6/10
