O Desaparecimento

This movie is about a missing girl. The movie was poorly written and the acting was sub par with the exception of the players of the missing girls parents.

There was no 'mystery' the audience could begin to develop their own list of suspects from, no clues, just direct point a to point b to point c story.

The actor who played the reporter lacked the ability to speak the English language properly and was obviously NOT a writer, much less a reporter.

It says based on actual events, my guess is the author of the screenplay read 3 articles and based the whole movie on a poorly reported story, never digging deeper than what the paper said.

Finally the end was ridiculous in that this 2020 movie stated that Polly Klass was still missing.

I can't understand why STARZ purchased this terrible movie that had so much unrealized potential.

Superb acting from a largely unknown (by me, anyway) cast. Engaging and involving story. I have to say I'm always more compelled to watch movies based on true events. This one held me throughout. As a side note fans of Zazie Beetz (the one face I DID recognise) should be aware her role is of a 'Cameo' nature and lasts only a couple of minutes. Great film.

I don't know how to take this movie. But this is how black people are treated in this country and it's so sad that the victims are victimized over and over again. I know it's a movie but it's all to real day to day life for many black people living in America. And black police officers and officials that continue to work in these institutions of oppression and inequality should be shamed! Hard movie to watch. I was just not that impressed by the acting or storyline. I felt it was missing something not sure what it was but something was missing.i felt it tried to hard.good attempt though.

Johnny Whitworth is raw and unfiltered. He grounds the reality of his scenes and steps into a vulnerability and humanity anchoring the darker moments of Still Here. Maurice McRae, although theatrical at times, brings heartbreak and despair to a very tough role. The circumstances of this script are heavy, and the weight of the world is showcased. There is an energy present in this film that supports and empowers white privilege. Vlad Feier, a filmmaker with an obligation to tell his perspective of the truth skews the importance of this topic with exaggerated earnestness. Hollywood has used the white savior trope for a long time as a structure to tell stories of POC. This false and limited perspective is damaging and ego driven with the "intention" of supporting Black stories. The continuation of this narrative is not in support of what it claims it stands for but rather of White people who carry the god complex. Some of the performances are over the top and there are slight technical issues, (i.e. breaking 180 line). The V.O.'s were not necessary and distracted from the behavior of the two leads.

Still Here is difficult to watch at times but hopefully the emotion of a father looking for his missing daughter will impact all audiences regardless.

I'm a white lady and old. But these actors were so powerful in their performance that I actually felt their pain not only because they were black but because their daughter was black and no one cared. Because they were black. This movie was so full of emotion. The actors made me see into their pain. I'm not prejudiced at all but I can see this same thing happens a lot in real life. This movie should win an Emmy and an Oscar. And the performance of the entire cast is superb but the guy that played the dad....man you need your own reward. You did a really good job. I hope to see all these actors again.
