Nobody Knows I'm Here (2020)

It is worth it because it is a tender story and also the beautiful landscape of my country gives it an extra credit. But the movie ended just when I thought it would get better, that really put me off, but still the story ends with a nice ending.

Fmovies: A beautifully photographed and well-acted drama from Chile that ultimately disappoints.

The story of Memo, a quiet giant of a man living in seclusion with his uncle in southern Chile. In his youth his dreams of fame were taken from him by his greedy father and an unscrupulous record producer. When he starts to interact with modern society his secrets come tumbling out.

There's a lot of silence in this film, and plenty of lingering shots of the stunning Chilean scenery that eventually make the film drag. Jorge Garcia is good as the hurt Memo, though at times he comes across as a petulant child. Maybe this is because his childhood was stolen from him, I don't know. Luis Gnecco is excellent as always as his loving uncle.

My biggest criticism is that Memo's secret has been kept quiet for so long, particularly after a pivotal flashback halfway through the film shows just how famous (or infamous) he was. That spoiled it for me.

Overall, it's a quiet, thoughtful drama with a title song that will stick in your head for days afterwards.

It is a very good film with very beautiful landscape of the south of Chile. The plot is good and the screenplay too. I had a very good time watching it. I highly recommend.

Nobody Knows I'm Here fmovies. A Chilean drama. It is about a man who lives alone with his uncle, but who lent his voice to a singer as a Child and is discovered by a girl from the town. The film portrays everyday and monotonous life in a spectacular way. In fact, although the first half hour is very slow and nothing seems to be happening, the daily portrait of life is fascinating. This movie is not for everyone. It is about frustrated dreams, pain, bad life decisions, not knowing how to face what we do and what we are. The character is dramatically armed, his psychology and the way he breaks free is fabulous. The best thing about the film is the second and third act. At times the audio is quite hasty and not everything is understood. In Spanish. Quality

This unassuming little gem of a movie is something special. Don't expect Hollywood glitz and glam. Expect a hand crafted jewel in which the viewer can feel the makers love and dedication to their art.

Since I am not (and will never be) famous, I am fascinated by the quest of many people to achieve fame. What is equally fascinating is the aftermath of fame. Nobody Knows I'm here is a wonderfully accomplished look into the exploitation of Chilean singer Memo. With a golden voice, it appears he is headed for a life of fame and glory. However, his success is short-lived and his subsequent life becomes a study in adapting and accepting the life that he has been given. This movie (contrary to some reviewers) unfolds in a perfect pace. (As a side note, I am a bit perplexed that many reviews equate scenes of dialogue with the notion that nothing is happening. As if their own lives were boring and a waste of time since they lack car chases, explosions and shootouts.) Along the way, many things happen in this movie that are un-expected, but, not un-believable. This is a credit to the Gaspar Antillo's superb directing. If you are looking for a beautifully depicted slice of life set in the lush Chilean country side, you will thoroughly enjoy this movie.
