Here and Now

Audience emotional responses for 'Here and Now' are primarily dominated by Sadness, stemming from the protagonist Vivienne's terminal brain tumor diagnosis and the profound implications for her life and relationships. This is closely followed by Anxiety and Empathy, as viewers are drawn into Vivienne's internal struggle to process the news, keep it secret, and decide how to share it with her family, particularly her daughter. A pervasive sense of Melancholy is evoked by the film's somber tone, the jazz music backdrop, and the contemplation of mortality. Fear is present as Vivienne confronts her impending death and the difficult conversations ahead. Despite the grim premise, underlying Love for her family, especially her daughter, and a fragile sense of Hope for meaningful connections in her remaining time, also resonate.
