Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Everything about Are You Here feels like a bottom-drawer script idea that was put together too casually and carelessly.
Are You Here lacks more than just the question mark that should go on its title. It lacks a point-of-view that makes sense, that feels central.
"Are You Here" doesn't feel all there.
"Are You Here" proves a gently immersive, ingratiating, often witty character comedy with a pair of comfortably effective lead performances.
