Here

Right now you can watch Here in Australia on Amazon Prime Video, and in the US on Netflix — and it holds up to as much attention as you give it. It says what it needs to say in one sitting, no filler. Its 6/10 TMDB score, built from 688 ratings, reflects a title that consistently delivers. Tom Hanks's performance alone is worth the time investment. Put it on tonight on Amazon Prime Video and see for yourself.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Here is worth clearing space for. The writing in Here treats its characters as people first, plot devices second. An odyssey through time and memory, centered on a place in New Jersey where—from wilderness, and then, later, from a home—love, loss, struggle, hope and legacy play out between couples and families over generations. Tom Hanks and Robin Wright lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2024. The performances in Here do a lot of work in the silences between the dialogue. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

Drama fans who appreciate slow-burn storytelling will feel right at home with Here. It stands on its own even without an obvious comparison point. A contained runtime means every scene is doing real work. Tom Hanks's work here is the kind that gets referenced in career retrospectives. It makes everything else feel thin by comparison.
