I'm Still Here OTT Release Date: When & where to watch Walter Salles' Oscar-winning film online
I'm Still Here OTT Release Date: After making history at the 2025 Oscars as Brazil's first-ever winner of the Best International Feature Film, I'm Still Here is finally making its grand digital debut. The streaming giant Netflix has confirmed that the Walter Salles-directed masterpiece will be available to stream from May 17, 2025. The film is, however, already available to rent on Prime Video.
This is the arrival of a cinematic storm that shook up the international film scene and outshone strong contenders like Emilia Pérez and The Girl with the Needle.
What is I'm Still Here all about?
Based on Marcelo Rubens Paiva's acclaimed biographical book, I'm Still Here tells the true story of a woman named Eunice Paiva, whose husband Rubens, a former politician in Brazil, was taken by the military during a time when the country was under a dictatorship in the 1970s. After Rubens disappears, the government claims he ran away, but Eunice doesn't believe it.
She risks her life trying to find out what really happened to him. Over the years, Eunice becomes a strong human rights activist, fighting for truth and justice, not just for her husband, but for others who also suffered under the dictatorship. The story shows her strength, pain, and determination as she continues her fight into old age, even when her memory begins to fade.
Directed by Walter Salles from a screenplay by Murilo Hauser and Heitor Lorega, this political biographical drama faced unsuccessful boycott calls by the Brazilian far-right, who denied that the military regime was a dictatorship. I'm Still Here eventually emerged as the highest-grossing Brazilian film since the COVID-19 pandemic.
The film had its world premiere at the 81st Venice International Film Festival, where it won the Best Screenplay award. It was named one of the Top 5 International Films of 2024 by the National Board of Review. At the 97th Academy Awards, I'm Still Here, other than the big win, was also nominated under Best Actress (Torres) and Best Picture.
