Richard Roeper

What a magnificent presence is J.K. Simmons. What an authentic, weathered, world-weary face he has. What a tremendous gift he has for conveying so much with such little dialogue in the stark and unsettling I’m Not Here. Read full review

J.K. Simmons does not speak a word in I’m Not Here, but his performance is eloquent, anguished, and moving. Read full review

Chuck Bowen

Throughout, J.K. Simmons invents the film with a primordial physicality of loneliness and self-loathing. Read full review

Movie Nation Roger Moore

I’m Not Here is never more than a short, morose melodrama whose chief shortcoming is that there’s not more that’s new, that there’s not more “here” here. Read full review

Kimber Myers

A dour drama that lacks depth despite all its good intentions. Read full review

Ben Kenigsberg

While the film aspires to a clipped complexity, it comes across as gimmicky and amateurish — a chain of miseries passed off as tough truths. Read full review

Simmons silently mopes and boozes with conviction, but everyone with dialogue comes off like planks of plywood, thanks to the flat, one-dimensional screenplay by the director and her writing partner, Tony Cummings. You wait for some revelation that might make you feel you haven’t spent these 81 minutes in vain. It’s no use. By the ambiguous ending, like Steve’s answerphone, you’re not here. You left a long time ago. Read full review
