Memory - Reviews

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

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

While Neeson is playing yet another character who has "a certain set of skills," he does bring nuance to the role of Alex Lewis...

...a little better than the majority of Neeson’s recent action excursions...

“Memory,” writer-director Michel Franco’s slippery dementia drama, is the kind of film that, initially, is so familiar and heavy-handed that your immediate impulse is to reject it.

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.

...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.

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.

...en underhållande actionthriller av den bokstavligen gamla skolan.

...en meget oldschool action-thriller, hvilket på mange måder er charmerende.
