Still Here

About This Movie

Still Here dives into the gritty reality of life in a small town grappling with the opioid crisis. Cody, a 17-year-old from Berlin, NH, is caught in the crossfire of familial turmoil and personal choices. The atmosphere is heavy, almost suffocating, but it captures the raw emotional weight of addiction's impact on youth. The pacing feels deliberately slow at times, giving you space to absorb the gravity of Cody's struggles. Performances are earnest, especially from the lead, really driving home the tension of his situation. It's not about flashy effects; it’s the stark, unembellished truth of the characters' lives that lingers. Distinct in its portrayal, this film resonates with anyone who’s witnessed the fallout of addiction up close.
