Stephen Romei The Australian [I'm Still Here] aims to illustrate that forced disappearances cause enormous psychological traumas to those left behind, but it does so in the absence of the full backdrop. Rated: 3/5 Mar 7, 2025 Full Review Wenlei Ma The Nightly (AU) As Eunice, Fernanda Torres turns in an outstanding performance marked by restraint, all the rage and grief she can’t openly express. Rated: 4/5 Mar 1, 2025 Full Review Donald Clarke Irish Times What makes I’m Still Here come alive is Torres’s faultless performance as the stabilising force in a family’s drift back to compromised normality. Rated: 4/5 Feb 28, 2025 Full Review Ernesto Diezmartinez Letras Libres Walter Salles portrays the horror of the Brazilian dictatorship, while reminding us that happiness is the most sublime form of resistance.[Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3.5/4 Apr 30, 2025 Full Review Filipe Freitas Always Good Movies The film reflects a dark page in Brazilian history, but because it’s too tidy and airtight, it fails to leave much of an impression by remaining in a passive state of subtlety. Rated: 3/5 Apr 25, 2025 Full Review Gisela Savdie El Heraldo With an original and moving vision, excellent character development, and a wonderful performance by Torres, Salas brings the memory of this historical episode to life, a reminder that, beyond Brazil, remains relevant worldwide.
