Memory (2023)

With an intriguing twist and a first-rate supporting cast, this film’s a cut above the actor’s standard revenge thrillers.

Chastain and Sarsgaard make a riveting duo in a film that – like Franco’s Tim Roth double Chronic and Sundown before it – is in no great hurry to elucidate its mysteries.

Despite the fact that Michel Franco’s new film focuses on an alcoholic grappling with the lingering effects of child abuse, Memory may well be his most buoyant work yet.

...an absorbing story, acted with superlative delicacy and maturity by Chastain and Sarsgaard.

Insinuating and bravely acted, Michel Franco’s film makes us think not only about memory loss, but everything we choose to forget and can’t.

What initially looks like “just another opportunity for Neeson to kick ass” turns into something more ambiguous and less conventional.
