Still Here

About This Movie

Still Here is a haunting exploration of a world ravaged by environmental collapse. The animation is striking, with a gritty, almost dystopian aesthetic that encapsulates the struggle for survival. You really feel the weight of the earth’s depletion - it’s not just a backdrop, it’s a character in itself. The pacing is deliberate, allowing for moments of reflection amidst the chaos. The themes of class disparity and survival are deeply woven into the narrative; the rich hoarding resources while the poor scavenge for breaths of fresh air almost feels too real. The practical effects used in some scenes have this raw quality that adds to the overall atmosphere. It’s distinctive, for sure, merging a cautionary tale with a visual style that's both beautiful and jarring.
