Be Here Now (2015)
9/10
Devastating, inspirational and humbling
30 April 2020
There is something incredibly powerful about seeing such a handsome, fit and otherwise healthy young man go through such a dreadful process. This documentary is a very difficult watch but in many ways it is as uplifting as it is devastating. The strength and integrity of Andy's wife Vashti throughout this ordeal is empowering, mesmerising and inspirational. This is a real love story and it will break your heart.

One of the final images of this film is a clip of Andy's son Jesse turning to face the camera and in his face you can vividly see his father, particularly those piercing eyes. This moment had a profound effect on me and is one of the most unintentionally heartbreaking things I have ever seen.

As difficult as it may be, this is a film that everybody should take the time to watch. It will clarify everything important about love, life and health.
