"Here" wants to depict the everyday life of an historically anonymous person and, stripping away the distractions created by the failed artificial structure, it mostly accomplishes that goal.

The acting elevates the material. All the A-list actors bring their A-games.

The screenplay does a good job with the "Dating Games" scenes and the tense, creepy sequence that follows but it founders in establishing a wider canvas.

The movie occasionally tries too hard to turn on the waterworks and allows its structure to upstage the fine performances by the leads.
