Leinwandliebe Film Talk

Reuniting the director, writer and stars of Forrest Gump, Here is an original film about multiple families and a special place they inhabit. The story travels through generations, capturing the most relatable of human experiences. Zemeckis (Forrest Gump, Castaway, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Contact, Back to the Future) directs from a screenplay by Eric Roth (Forrest Gump, Killers of the Flower Moon, Dune, A Star is Born) and him. Told much in the style of the acclaimed graphic novel by Richard McGuire on which it is based, Tom Hanks and Robin Wright star in a tale of love, loss, laughter and life, all of which happen right Here.

"Here is a work so cloying and ham-fisted in its attempts to move you that there is a point when you find yourself thinking that the only thing that Zemeckis hasn't thrown into the mix is a needle drop of "Our House" and then he proceeds to do just that."

As a digitally altered 18-year-old, Hanks looks less like himself circa his 80s slasher debut He Knows You’re Alone and more like Ben Platt circa the equally cursed Dear Evan Hansen movie while in his 50s, he somehow looks even older than the real Hanks does in his late 60s. (...)

There’s the thrill of seeing someone die of Covid in crisp HD, something many of us have surely been craving, and then there’s the utterly anonymous Black family’s longest scene in which the father explains to his son how to survive a police stop, an empty back-pat of a gesture that means nothing given that we don’t even know their names (...).

There’s not much that Hanks and Wright can do with the restrictions of the technology that creepily warps them through time but they’re at least as competent as they can be, especially compared to Paul Bettany and Kelly Reilly as Hanks’s parents, both shout-acting as if they’re in a small-town dinner theatre production of Death of a Salesman.
