A film on aging for the ages

I LIKE IT HERE is a theatrical, and forthcoming PBS, film about facing mortality with honesty and a touch of good humor. The movie is a series of visits with several of  filmmaker Arlyck’s friends and neighbors.  They're an upbeat, lively bunch.  As he meanders through his neighborhood and memories, he tries to make sense of the changes in his aging body and brain.

TRAILER

I Like it Here

  • “[Arlyck] is doing precisely what great memoirists do: invite us into their stories as a way of making space for us to reflect on our own… I’ve seen the movie twice, and both times I found myself moved near tears”.

    -Alissa Wilkinson

    The New York Times

  • “A beautiful meditation on mortality”

    -The Film Stage

  • "As poetic and soothing as a cat’s purr; at once minimally lyrical and eloquent."

      — FIPRESCI Reviews

  • "I Like it Here” has worked wonderfully in several of our sessions. The audiences were deeply engaged and conversations about the pleasures and challenges of aging continued long after the screenings”.
