Vivienne (Sarah Jessica Parker), is an established singer/songwriter with a successful music career. On the eve of a major performance, Vivienne receives some life-altering news that causes her to reevaluate her priorities. As she crisscrosses the busy streets of New York City, she tries to balance her upcoming music tour, family, and friends. With the support of her overbearing mother, Jeanne (Jacqueline Bisset), her long-time manager, Ben (Common), and her ex-husband, Nick (Simon Baker), Vivienne strives to make peace with the decisions and sacrifices she's made along the way.

[A]s accurate as this portrayal of avoidance might be, it doesn't amount to much in terms of sympathizing with or understanding who Vivienne is and what she's experiencing.

For most of the film, Parker's Vivienne is bland and forgettable.

"I'm not done yet," Vivienne declares. But we never even see her get started.

Here and Now is deliberately slow, hoping to provide viewers a chance to share the torturous mental anguish Vivienne is going through. The process only succeeds in boring us to death.

Why doesn't the drama ever crystallize into something we can feel?

It's an intimate character study that rests on the lead performance from Sarah Jessica Parker, de-glammed save for her Kim Novak platinum hair.

An open-ended but not unpleasant watch.

Clunky and at times, confusing, Here and Now fails to give Sarah Jessica Parker the chance to dive deep into herself and give the emotional performance she was hoping for.

A compellingly human film.

It all adds up to a film aiming to be a moving character study (and an ostensible homage to Agnés Varda's "Cléo From 5 to 7," a far more vivid exploration of existentialism), but instead feels adrift.
