French director Robert Bresson is one of few filmmakers in world cinema who had never made a bad or mediocre feature.

I’m Still Here tells the true story of the Paiva family, whose lives were torn apart by the Brazilian military dictatorship in the 1970s, but it somehow managed to rebuild through resilience.

It is poorly directed by Robert Ellis Miller–very much like a static play–who in the same year also made The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter, arguably his best feature in a long and undistinguished career
