Memory - Kritiken

...er både melodrama og rigtig menneskefilm.

...de to talentfulde skuespillere har en sjældent varm kemi imellem hinanden.

Michel Franco kan personinstruere, så pauserne og de halve sætninger taler med. Realismen er pletfri.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Man tycker verkligen om både Sylvia och Saul. Jessica Chastain gör en av sina mest sårbara roller i karriären.

...vibrerar starkt tack vare Jessica Chastains och Peter Sarsgaards nyanserade, djupgående tolkningar i huvudrollerna.

...en taktil film som med minimala specialeffekter som uppskattas i dagens biorepertoar.
