Brazil, 1971. Brazil faces the tightening grip of a military dictatorship. Eunice Paiva, a mother of five children, is forced to reinvent herself after her family suffers a violent and arbitrary act by the government.
« I’m Still Here does not present as a simple polemic about a historical and political situation, and that’s the secret to its global appeal. It’s also a moving portrait of how politics disrupts and reshapes the domestic sphere, and how solidarity, community and love are the only viable path toward living in tragedy. » (The New York Times).
« Walter Salles’ superb factually-based film – he was a real-life friend of the Paiva family as a teenager – is an an engrossing, affecting tribute to a formidable woman and her family. » (Screen Daily.
« It is immersive and unhurried, and quietly devastating, taking viewers into the origin of a void left in a wife and a mother. » (Rogerebert.com)
