Here Awhile

This film presents multiple issues of Oregon's Death With Dignity Act in a sensitive, generous manner. No brow beating heavy handed endorsement of the Act in the screen play or the acting. It will make you think as well as being a fun way to spend the evening. Recommended highly.

Its when you don't have to think, argue or analyse them.

Its when you don't think in actors, acting, reflection etc.

Its like a book you can indulge in.

A good story, book or film, should invite you to become part of it. It shouldn't make you think about actors you recognize from other films. A film fails if an actor or actress makes you think about another film. And although it's a personal thing and therefore for everyone different, its how you feel the story and are able to become part of it. As a listener, viewer and yeah, for some even identifying yourself with characters.

So don't get upset by reviewers, professional or not, but just enjoy this film as a book. The kind of which you actually don't want to read the last page. Only because the story will be over and done with.

That should explain my 10/10.. 🙂

Here Awhile is a beautiful film about subject matter that is incredibly important. Anna Camp's performance is stunning and I really felt like I was on the journey with her every step of the way. This is a movie that will definitely open your heart and encourage important conversations with loved ones. Thank you to the filmmakers for taking such love and care with a difficult subject, and sharing this very raw look at real life in a way that is tender, purposeful, and doesn't shy away from asking hard questions of not only the characters in the movie, but also the viewer.

Well you have your obligatory woke: every single relationship is same sex or interracial because we know that's how the real world is (sarcasm). As far as the movie itself, it is really low budget, with not much going on. The acting isn't great. I mean if absolutely nothing else is on, it won't kill you to watch it.

I do feel bad for being so harsh to an indie film, but it really has an emptiness to it. Not because of the depressing nature of the film but of the makeup of the film, because it ends and I wonder why this movie exists. I question if the creatives had real motivation behind it. For me, the only reason I watched it was because I knew someone that was in it.

Joe Lo Truglio was definitely the best part. The whole cancer thing just feels conjured up by writers, which it was, but if you do it right you feel more than just pity for the main character.
