Movie Reviews

Reviewed by Aaron S 8 / 10

You know, usually a movie title is kind

You know, usually a movie title is kind of a throw away. Something snappy, but original...not much more. After watching through Who We Are Now, I found that applying the title to what happens served as an amazing framing device for the story. Who We Are Now is about broken people and how those people try to live after being broken. It doesn't go away, there isn't a cure, but life carries on anyway. Life carries on even though you may be an entirely different person than you were before. The film's end is so bittersweet and left me feeling like I could really relate with the main character despite never experiencing anything close to what she had. It left me feeling empty, but with a resilience to carry on. Another abnormal type of praise - the credits! After that stunning ending, the credits are rolled over the sounds of the street from the final shot just begging you to think about the gravity of what just happened and it is 100% effective.

What's interesting is how Newton both undermines naïve

What's interesting is how Newton both undermines naïve sentimentality about the world while simultaneously not indulging in cynicism which gives the movie a kind of hopeful realism. Julianne Nicholson should get more leading roles, this is one hell of a performance.

Probably a good story, but the shaky camera

Probably a good story, but the shaky camera work/effect makes this unwatchable.
