We Grew Up Here

About This Movie

We Grew Up Here is a haunting reflection on memory and loss, weaving the struggles of a musician named Liam as he grapples with the erasure of his past. The film's atmosphere is thick with a sense of dread, enhanced by the music of Chicago's own Paper Thick Walls, whose performance adds a layer of authenticity. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the viewer to really feel Liam's isolation and paranoia as songs he recorded with his ex, Lauren, begin to vanish from existence. It's not just about a breakup; it dives deep into the themes of identity and the fragility of connection. The practical effects subtly mirror Liam's crumbling reality, making the whole experience all the more unsettling.
