The film successfully argues that it’s through sensory details that we access the deeper aspects of our lives. Read full review

Palansky had the good sense to let the performances elevate the material, never letting this turn into another cheesy, predictably twisty yarn. Read full review

Heading a troupe of excellent actors bringing their A games to this decidedly B-movie material, Dinklage and his fellow performers are a pleasure to watch selling the hell out of this sci-fi-tinged whodunit. Read full review

Gary Goldstein

Sep 7, 2017

Despite a soulful turn by Dinklage and some thoughtful themes and emotions, the film, capped by an anti-climactic ending, never coheres into the gripping, mind-bending package that was clearly intended. Read full review

Dinklage is a terrific actor who’s always engaging to watch, and he elevates this screenplay’s plot holes and lame dialogue. Read full review

Guy Lodge

Sep 7, 2017

The final effect is akin to that of a Hallmark card inscribed by Christopher Nolan, and it’s that earnest self-importance of tone that finally makes this light sci-fi effort a bit of a trudge, despite Dinklage’s committed and empathetic performance. Read full review

A hodgepodge of pseudoscientific twaddle and variously shifty murder suspects, Rememory satisfies neither as science fiction nor as psychological drama. Read full review

I really loved the ending too and felt it was so fitting. It's just the journey to the ending was kind of meh. There are too many attempts at laying a red herring and it just doesn't work. Especially when the moment the main character, Dinklage, confronts one of these suspects, They are immediately proven innocent. So what was the point in trying to make them a red herring?

Also, Wasn't a fan of the directing. I thought the first-person point of view used for the memories was kind of cheap looking. And I don't understand the art choice of making select memories shot from a first-person point of view while a majority of others were done in third-person. That didn't make sense to me.

All in all, I was on the verge of giving it a higher score but I think the directing and story flaws kind of knocked it back a bit. It is not a terrible movie as critics tried to make it out to be. It was enjoyable to watch but it should have been better.… Expand

The biggest fault of this movie is that it's too casual. Nothing is special except for the plot and the idea behind the story. That is basically the only good thing about it and that is why I rate it a 6 and not a 5. Directors style ordinary, writing and script casual as fu8k, even theThe biggest fault of this movie is that it's too casual. Nothing is special except for the plot and the idea behind the story. That is basically the only good thing about it and that is why I rate it a 6 and not a 5. Directors style ordinary, writing and script casual as fu8k, even the acting is wont. The movie sadly doesn't have a sci-fi vibe, it's not very fun to watch, and doesn't offer a lot of entertainment either. VFX and SFX are barely looking and sounding good. There is a rather ugly pacing issue at the beginning which makes it even more cumbersome to watch. There is no lesson at the end just a couple of plot twist's which come too late to save the whole story. Overall it's a slightly above average movie, which sadly is just another every day sci-fi.… Expand
