Technically innovative yet trite and empty - Here review by AER
Robert Zemeckis high-concept film told from a single camera POV is innovative and could've been potentially exciting. But it barely focuses on its human characters at all having them srpint through a non-linear scattering of births, deaths and marriages. It also contains wildly inconsistent acting styles and the quality is up and down. The usually dependable Kelly Reilly and Paul Bettany are awful. Tom Hanks and Robin Wright fare slightly better but the dialogue is thin and the events rushed through. In essence, HERE is a 1.45hr-long montage sequence. A better script or even plot idea to pin it's 'device' to would have made this worthwhile. Instead, take a look at David Lowery's Ghost Story, that does the same thing smaller, better and with more feeling. Disappointing.
