I'm Here Review

There aren't a whole lot of great films in the theatres right now, and with the rising ticket prices it's nice to be able to see a film of exceptional quality without having pay to see it. Spike Jonze, who has been known for creating such bizzarely beautiful films as Being John Malkovich, and Where the Wild Things Are, directs this sweet little science fiction short. The film focuses on the relationship between Sheldon and Francesca, two robots living relatively normal lives in a still relatively normal Los Angeles. There aren't any huge action sequences, or controvercy between humans and robots. It's a quiet, simple romance between robots.

Sheldon is a library assistant who falls for the free spirited Francesca. Throughout the course of their relationship Sheldon learns how to dream, and what it means to love someone else. It's a story about giving all of yourself to the one you love, literally. Spike Jonze often has created intimate stories that strike such a beautiful chord emotionally, and this film is no different. I'd love to see a feature length version of this movie, because it just makes me want to spend more time with Sheldon and Francesca. This is a film you can expect to get Oscar potential next year in the live-action short category, because right now this is the best film released so far this year. Here's the site you have to go to to see the film in its entirety: http://www.imheremovie.com/
