said, "Wherever You Are is a fine, strong film. The most impressive thing is how confident and economical the direction is, and how powerful the performances are!" This film is independent, unique and quirkily indie. It is a fantastic film which draws the viewer in to the family life and really lets you experience the feelings as they are developing. The family invites you in to their turmoil and opens the doors to a whole host of problematic issues. It has beautiful shots and baffling situations. All round a fantastic film.
