I'M STILL HERE Movie Review | Fernanda Torres | Walter Salles | Oscars 2025

[@andygilly14]

As someone from Venezuela, this movie wrecked me (more likely it destryed me), becasue it is something so close to our current reality... I almost had to walk out of the theater, but in the end I'm glad I watched it until the end. I recommend it to everyone, no matter the political ideology they might have... 💔💔💔💔

[@HeelPower200]

I am wishing for a Parasite moment and hoping this takes best picture. Incredibly profound movie that is universally relatable. The best overall movie of 2024 by a wide margin.

[@ThiagoRuback]

I believe It is truly the best movie, it just depends on the academy seeing this and overcoming their biases. If by any shot this was an American movie and an American story there would be no doubt that it would win.

[@anitamwd]

@@ThiagoRuback100%!

[@kathiamaia6084]

ImStillHere is the best film without a doubt. Political repression did not represent just this. Citizens ripped from their homes without any explanation. Thousands of people disappeared, kidnapped, tortured, murdered, press censorship, withdrawal of human rights, closure of the National Congress. A military coup that generated years of lead. It's a cousin and a WARNING to the world! #FernandaTorres and #ImStillHere deserve to win. They are stunning!

[@elainercosta]

Just being nominated, for us Brazilians, It counts, because ITS a bigger plataform to show our movies, you know??

[@joshortiz1137]

I see that house almost like another character in the movie. Such a powerful story that left me devastated. And as much as I love Demi Moore in The Substance, I think Fernanda Torres is the one who truly deserves the Oscar

[@guilhermemello525]

Indeed!

[@paulamdg5899]

walter salles said it in an interview, that the house is almost a character in the movie. ☺

[@fernandomaron87]

The scene where they move out and leave the house totally broke me apart.

[@edmendezITV]

​@@fernandomaron87 That scene broke my heart! It touched me so much I felt bad for days! That's how good the whole thing is! They should win all three categories of the world was a fair place!!!

[@davidfilmexpert]

I saw this at the Savannah Film Festival and I knew I experienced a film that was truly miraculous and would remembered for years. Fernanda Torres truly deserves to win for this powerful film. 🙌♥️

[@saurabhvashist4051]

I saw this film last Friday and it hasn't left my mind. I will be watching it again this week before it leaves the local theatre. Have loved Walter Salles' work since Central Station and the Motocycle Diaries.

[@mariamendola]

Central Station is one of the best movies ever…

[@fernandomaron87]

'Abril Despedaçado' is also a masterpiece.

[@AngeliqueMariaAguiardeMiranda]

Hi! I'm going to add a little more context to the film: All of of the songs that the family listens at the house are musics from musicians that got censured during the dictarshiop and the songs that we listen on the radios are popular songs, but from artists that were complict with the regime. When the military comes to kidnap Rubens you can see them lurking around, looking at their vinyl collection and books, they were actually looking for "subversive" material. Also: the helicopter thar flies by them at the beach, were used to drop bodies at the sea. We only found about that about that decades later. Walter was very clever about that, but again: you have to be brazillian to know that I really dont know why it didnt got nominated for adapted screanplay :( And Director for Walter, bc the music, our art, is really important for us, and he was able to show that in the movie. Also: millions of milleniuns and Gen X grew up reading Marcelo rubens paiva books, and his family. We all love him, and we are really happy that they are getting this level of recognition. NOT SO FUN FACT: Rubens has a statue in Brasilia, and at the day of the inauguration, Bolsonaro spit at the statue, and said that he deserved to die. Yes, he is that low

[@BreakfastAllDay]

​@@AngeliqueMariaAguiardeMirandaDon't worry. It was beautiful. I am Brazilian and I didn't know everything you wrote

[@Gianni_Scchichi]

I am a Brazilian guy in my late sixties and I can tell you that my parents always asked us do not tell anyone what was said or spoken in our house. This recommendation was to protect us. I understand that Eunice Paiva was trying to preserve her family. More than two decades of silencing people, among my friends there was a now deceased lady that her husband was taken by the government and nothing was explained for decades. Unfortunately, it was something that happened more than we realized at that time. I will try to see the movie because I have no courage at this moment, still hurts to think about people that I knew and disappeared in strange circumstances.

[@andreapereiradelima7378]

Sinto muito pelo que aconteceu, triste isso

[@guilhermebeyrodt6362]

I hope you find the courage to overcome this difficulty. I knew many of the people mentioned in the film. For me, it was especially difficult to go to the cinema and relive that story, told by relatives with so much sadness. It is truly a distressing and sorrowful experience, but at the same time, a relieving one. No one leaves this film the same as they entered; I felt like I was in a time machine. Hearing the silence in the cinema throughout the entire session and, at the end, the tears of the people made me feel grateful for having the opportunity to reconnect with this story.

[@violet6450]

Another Brazilian fan here! I'm so glad you guys got to see this one. Here, we are rooting for this Oscars like it's the World Cup. This movie is incredibly important for us, especially with the resurgence of the extreme right around the world (history definitely rhymes). The boy in the film, the youngest of the children, grew up to become an important Brazilian writer and wrote the book on which the movie is based. He began writing it when his mother, Eunice, was losing her memory to Alzheimer’s. He said that, just like his mother, he felt the country was forgetting its own history, and that we must remember it so we don’t repeat the past. Also, director Walter Salles was childhood friends with one of the girls, which is why the house feels so vivid and full of life-he experienced it firsthand.

[@BobSullivanAKABuffy]

This was actually playing in the biggest space at the AMC Kabuki in SF this week so they're sure waiting for the Oscar catchup crowd. I find it so strange to think this was the same decade when my parents visited Brazil.

[@amandasantiago1821]

Such an incredible movie. It got me in tears during the entire film. I felt embaressed to get out of the cinema crying so I stayed there for some minutes after the credits 🥲 I'm feeling confident for Best International Film but also Best Actress for the amazing Fernanda Torres

[@alexnoahllourenc5062]

Fernanda Torres’ performance in the ice cream shop scene in I’m Still Here is nothing short of breathtaking-an Oscar-worthy moment of pure, raw emotion. Without needing grand monologues, she conveys an overwhelming mix of frustration, exhaustion, and heartbreak through the subtlest yet most powerful expressions. Her eyes, filled with unspoken pain, dart between her children and the situation unfolding around her, silently pleading for control, for relief, for a moment to just breathe. The way her lips tremble, the deep sighs she takes as if trying to suppress an emotional collapse-each micro-expression tells a story more devastating than words ever could. Then comes that desperate attempt to maintain composure. She forces a smile, nodding slightly, as if convincing herself and those around her that everything is fine. But it’s not. Her hands fidget, her posture stiffens, and in that brief moment where she looks down, it’s as if the weight of the entire world crashes onto her shoulders. The moment the tension becomes unbearable, she lets out a restrained yet gut-wrenching sigh-half a breath, half a sob-before gathering herself just enough to push through. It’s the kind of acting that doesn’t need words; her silence is louder than any scream, her restraint more painful than an outburst. Few scenes in cinema achieve this level of emotional depth. It’s not just acting-it’s lived experience, it’s truth, it’s heartbreak in its purest form. You don’t just watch this scene; you feel it. It’s unparalleled . this touching scene we will NEVER EVER forget it. 🎬 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@jaimerobertodesouza9636]

[@edmendezITV]

Heck yeah! There's a buzz about Demi's Oscar grabbing scene with the make up in front of the mirror but seriously, whoever thinks that will instantly change their mind after watching the ice cream scene, it's just amazing! She should win this whole thing, I mean they should get all three categories for justice to be made!

[@jeffersonb_k_3411]

Torres deserves to win! 🏆

[@davidfilmexpert]

Walter Salles truly captures this family in such a relatable way like you're there with them. He should've been nominated for Best Director over Coralie Fargeat. Sorry but it's just a fact!

[@thedarkmike12]

Nah over Jacques

[@davidfilmexpert]

​@@thedarkmike12 Definitely! Coralie Fargeat's direction was just really heavy handed and over the top as well.

[@thedarkmike12]

@ that’s what makes her direction so unique…. She’s got an eye like David Lynch and David Cronenberg

[@davidfilmexpert]

@@thedarkmike12 No it doesn’t make unique, it just makes it a cheap rip-off that we've seen done better many times in other movies before.

The final scene with Fernanda Torres's mother Fernanda Montenegro appears as her daughter's character with Alzheimers is so amazing, she brought me to tears with her performance without saying one word. Beautiful movie.

[@alexnoahllourenc5062]

Fernanda Torres delivers an extraordinary performance in I’m Still Here, demonstrating her mastery of nuance, depth, and emotional intensity. With every scene, she captivates the audience, balancing raw vulnerability with a quiet strength that lingers long after the credits roll. Her ability to convey complex emotions with subtle expressions and precise timing is a testament to her artistic maturity and deep understanding of the craft. What makes her portrayal truly remarkable is the authenticity she brings to the role-every gesture, every silence, every glance feels deeply lived-in, as if she is not merely performing but embodying the very essence of the character. This level of commitment transforms the film into an immersive experience, making it impossible to look away. Her Golden Globe recognition is well deserved, not just as an acknowledgment of this singular performance but as a celebration of a career defined by excellence, fearlessness, and an unwavering dedication to storytelling. Fernanda Torres is magnificent and phenomenal. Hats off to Torres. Congrats Brazil for this masterpiece. I got completely involved in this film getting goosebumps every time when I think about it. 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏👏👏👏👏👏 Masterpiece of 2024

"I'm Still Here" and Fernanda Torres deserve Oscars! With the alarming rise of authoritarianism globally, this film's powerful story of resistance against dictatorship is more critically relevant than ever. It serves as a vital reminder of democracy's fragility and the urgent need to defend human rights and justice. The film boasts an exceptional script, crafting a compelling narrative that resonates deeply. The masterful direction brings this story to life with impactful visuals and a palpable emotional core. Fernanda Torres delivers a nuanced and truly masterful performance, embodying the strength, vulnerability, and unwavering resolve of a woman confronting unimaginable adversity. Her portrayal is both captivating and deeply moving, connecting with audiences on a profound level. "I'm Still Here" transcends mere entertainment; it's a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit and a potent call to action against oppression, making it an essential and compelling cinematic experience worthy of the highest accolades.

[@bleuthold]

I was very stoked to see this nominated for Picture. It'd be great if it took International 🤷‍♂️

It is a stacked category (although everything is better than Emilia Pérez).

[@bleuthold]

[@mmcmsp]

The beauty of this movie is it’s humanity. How it’s about life, family, love, resilience, motherhood, finding joy, perseverance, moving on, and, above all, how important is to defend our rights and our democracy. How important is not take our rights to vote and choose our leaders for granted because it will affect us - right now is so relevant and a movie everyone should watch and think how our voices and the fight for freedom are more important than the stock market and the price of bacon! Freedom is not about having the right of carrying a gun or saying whatever comes to mind in social media. Freedom is about living with respect and dignity. Eunice never lost her dignity and, with respect and integrity, raised her family with love, not hate, and still managed 4:55 to became one of the biggest advocates for minorities. This movie is fantastic. That woman is fantastic.

I don't normally watch movies with sub titles, however this seems like a very interesting story. I don't know who reads these comments, but I wanted to say that I came across an old video of Alonzo and a panel talking about how campy the movie "Valley of the Dolls" is.

[@danielag.ishikawa]

Nice review! Thank you!

[@__f.ferreira]

For me, one of the most interesting aspects of this film is how the Paiva residence is essentially treated as its own character. It’s through the house that we get to know the family - not just through what they do inside it (the parties, dinners, music, dancing), but also through the set itself, the lighting, the ever-open doors and windows… Then, later in the film, that changes. It becomes darker, more closed off, until, inevitably, it’s completely empty when the credits roll. Brilliant direction by Walter Salles. And fun fact: The house used in the film is a real residence, very similar to the one where the Paiva family actually lived (which has since been demolished). Walter Salles insisted on using a real location, and during the film’s preparation, the cast essentially lived there -cooking, spending time together, and rehearsing scenes. The actors playing the children were even encouraged to decorate their own bedrooms. All these details contribute to making the film and their connection as a family feel even more authentic.

[@BreakfastAllDay]

So interesting! Yes, the camera movement through the empty house at the end strikes such a note of melancholy. Thanks for sharing all of that.

[@thaismattei]

Thank you! we appreciate the recognition

[@fabinho1305]

Este filme, além de ter um significado valioso para a cultura brasileira, para a Fernanda Torres e todos os envolvidos, tem real importância para o mundo.

You may have opened the pandora box now, be prepared for a lot of comments from Brazilians hehe. Well... I am Brazilian too and watch you guys since the What the Flick days. This is really a great film. Walter Salles, I´m sure you know, also directed "Central Station", which was also nominated for Best Internationa Film. Fun fact: the Oscars will happen during Brazil´s famous "Carnaval", so people will already be partying during the broadcast. Do you guys think this film could get the Best International Film Oscar? People down here are losing their minds since the nominations, we really hope it gets the award. I´m rooting for Fernanda Torres too, but she will probably lose to Demi Moore.

[@manoelgrandson5384]

SOME INFORMATION 💎 I'm Still Here is the first Portuguese-spoken movie to be nominated to the Oscar of Best Picture and the sixth that was nominated to Best Foreign Language Film (the fifth representing Brazil). ▪︎continue in reply of this comment▪︎

[@manoelgrandson5384]

💎 Fernanda Torres's mother, Fernanda Montenegro was the first latin actress nominated to the Oscar of Best Actress (Katy Jurado, Rita Moreno and Norma Aleandro had already been nominated as Supporting Actress) and, to date, she was the only Portuguese-spoken actor nominated to the award, but her daughter just repeated this. That was in 1999, with the movie Central Station, also directed by Walter Salles and nominated to Best Foreign Language Film.

[@manoelgrandson5384]

💎 Fernanda Torres, Selton Mello and Fernanda Montenegro played in Four Days in Septemper, brazilian movie nominated to the Oscar of Best Foreign Language Film in 1998, also about brazilian dictatorship period.

[@manoelgrandson5384]

💎 Fernanda Torres was the fourth brazilian actor nominated to Golden Globe, but the second with a Portuguese-spoken performance. The first one was her mother. The other nominees were Sônia Braga (Kiss of the Spider Woman, Moon Over Parador and The Burning Season) and Wagner Moura (Narcos).

[@manoelgrandson5384]

💎 Fernanda Torres, aged 20, won the award for Best Actress at the 1986 Cannes Film Festival by the movie Love Me Forever or Never (tied with Barbara Sukowa, by Rosa Luxemburg). She was the first brazilian actress (of two) to win an award in Cannes. The second one was Sandra Corveloni that, coincidentally, was directed by Walter Salles.

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Thanks for all of that!

[@takhazel]

to me its best drama in 2024

[@hmcconsultoria2578]

Este filme me tocou profundamente, e me fez voltar aos meus tempos de infância/adolescência (ANOS 70). Minha família era muito semelhante aos Paiva, e na casa de praia de nossa família a trilha sonora era muito parecida com a do filme. Éramos 24 primos e vários tios e meus pais e meus avós. Cantávamos, dançávamos, jogávamos baralho e bingo...Meu avô era um pequeno empresário militante do partido trabalhista, e meu tio um advogado que trabalhou no Gabinete do presidente (cassado pela ditadura) João Goulart em Brasília. Ele fumava charuto, bebia whisky e cantava Dorival Caymmi, no microfone do aparelho de som...Depois de interrogado e fichado no DOPS, meu tio foi aconselhado a evitar manifestações políticas. Minha mãe nos orientava a não discutir estes temas com estranhos. Já no início de 80 como líder estudantil, fui a Brasília várias vezes. Orientações de minha mãe, tios e avô sobre como lutar pela abertura política e participar no movimento Diretas já, foram importantes para mim. Viver a infância e adolescência num regime autoritário, disfarçado de liberal, foi um misto de satisfação por ser jovem e ter uma família progressista, e medo constante por ter consciência dos riscos, pois na vitrola a Gal nos falava:” É preciso estar ATENTO e FORTE”, e entendíamos o seu significado. Agora com o Bolsonarismo e crescimento da extrema direita, vendo esta tentativa de golpe e planejamento do assassinato do Presidente Lula, seu vice e um Ministro do STF, por um grupo radicalizado ligado ao Exercito Brasileiro (Kids Pretos), a volta de Trump ao poder (aliado da família Bolsonaro), percebo que os riscos continuam. Nunca se iludam: ‘O Preço da Liberdade é a Eterna Vigilância”.

[@paulojuniorvisao2583]

Uau!!!! Fernanda Torres, the incridible performance, I'M STILL HERE, BEAUTIFUL 👏 👏 👏 👏

[@ninobelucci3824]

A film that addresses emptiness and absence. A photograph that reminds us of a documentary because the situations presented are so realistic and explicit. In addition, of course, to Fernanda Torres' interpretation, which prepares her children for years of mourning. She played many mothers in this beautiful film.

[@marialuizamarcolino4076]

Fico pensando como os filhos perceberam que o pai nunca mais ia voltar. Quando Rubens era deputado, como um político de esquerda, quando a ditadura começou ele se autoexilou na Europa, ele foi eleito em fevereiro de 1963 e em abril de 1964 o mandato foi cassado por causa do golpe. Então os filhos ficaram 9 meses longe dele, eu penso que os menores ainda pensavam que seria como na última vez. Imagina a aflição... e imagina saber que seu marido morreu e ter que mandar a compostura para os filhos não sofrerem... que mulher foi Eunice! E ainda se tornou uma ativista advogada que lutava pelos direitos dos indígenas e presos políticos e participou até na constituição de 1988 sobre os direitos dos nativos brasileiros. E ela nunca quis ser a vítima, era a forma de não deixar eles vencerem...

[@lucianobrock]

Be careful, this comment contains spoilers. Thank you for the review, this film is very important for us Brazilians, a film that rescues a memory that was being lost, a memory that shows us what we should never return to. Eunice Paiva was an extraordinary woman who made her difference in the world, graduating as a lawyer at the age of over 45, fighting for human rights and the rights of the indigenous peoples of Brazil, Brazilian indigenous people owe a lot to Eunice who helped create several reserves that today protect the Amazon and the forests of Brazil that still remain. Fernanda performs in her gesture, her gaze and her contained pain. It shows the strength of this woman who, despite everything she went through, remained standing and raised her children and formed them with dignity and resilience. Fernanda didn't need to dishevel her hair to convey the feelings she wanted and that for a performance is something complex. Eunice died with Alzheimer's, her memory in life is gone, but in history her memory will remain alive forever.

Que emoção seria para o povo brasileiro 😢 Fernanda Torres, ganhando o Oscar de melhor atriz e, convidando sua mãe, Fernanda Montenegro, de 95 anos - na última chance de sua vida, erguendo JUNTAS a estátua do Osca (corrigindo a injustiça de 25 anos atrás) , com Central do Brasil 🥹 O BRASIL iria desabar em choro 😭 Eu choraria baldes!! Me arrepio só de pensar

[@alejandrosalicrup6449]

What a great film. Fernanda Torres deserves an Oscar 💐

[@goncaloferreiira]

[@cezartb]

Fernanda played Eunice as a tragic greek heroine. It really is amazing.

Existe filmes para Oscar com bom market, e filmes que perduram para um povo. obrigado por essa critica, acalentou a alma de muitos

That's a really trenchant remark that Alonso makes about tumultuous times boiling down to the lived realities of individual families. Whether we're watching CNN or ABC or Bloomberg or Fox News, you can get so immersed in the same hyped-up narratives that you might neglect your own everyday life, your own soul, start tuning out from your quiet deep wisdom. You might get so hopelessly inured to applying the narratives you've been fed that you alienate your very friends and family. I've heard countless stories of these family rifts, shared online. No bueno, no bueno at all! It's like that classic Nietzsche aphorism, when you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you. When you commit your mind to whatever mass media is feeding you, you might miss opportunities in your local life to really make a difference, connect to people in enriching but more modest, ordinary, sustainable ways.

and may I just remark that while your vocabulary and rhythmic deployment has always been top of the line Christy, it's leveled up even further since you got completely sober, your mind is just so great! the human equivalent of the Hope diamond! 🤓

Wish this movie talked about the past... It talks about the present. Leaders who attempted coup dʼetats were elected both in Brazil (Bolsonaro) and the US (Trump). Trump was even elected again, and is already violating human rights like thereʼs no tomorrow.

This movie deserves the Oscar. And the world needs to know about those terrible years.

[@adamjimenez9003]

This one I still don't know when its coming out here, but just saw a trailer for it yesterday that i went to see The Seed of The Sacred Fig, which is another one I cant wait for you to get to. But i am very much looking forward to see it, its one of those movies that everyone that sees it immediately falls for it.

Review coming in a few minutes!

[@flavioeduardobarbosa]

Ainda Estou Aqui (I'm Still Here) is a wonderful piece of art... Loved your review! Amazing and respectful. Fernanda Torres is one great actress amid the greatest! (I'm sorry but I don't know the hosts name... The beautiful hostess reminds me of another great actress in Brazil, Maria Padilha)

CASA DE AREIA! 2 Fernandas in one pack in lençois maranhences!

[@vivr1276]

Fernanda é uma querida e talentosa atriz brasileira. Filha de Fernanda Montenegro que foi injustiçada quando Gwyneth ganhou o Oscar. Glen close e ate Maryl disseram uma vez que Montenegro merecia ganhar. Espero que a Fernanda ganhe dessa vez e nao ajam como foi no passado, dando o premio para uma atriz sem carisma, talento do tamanho de Fernanda Torres. Seria uma reparação histórica justa. Meu pai era professor na época, ele também quase passou por isso quando teve o quarto do hotel revirado pelos militares, ele foi levado para o DOPs para interrogatório

[@cezartb]

Can you imagine 200 million people watching the Oscars?
