Remember Me (2010)
Country: US
Technical: col 113m
Director: Allen Coulter
Cast: Robert Pattinson, Emilie de Ravin, Chris Cooper, Lena Olin, Pierce Brosnan, Ruby Jerins
Synopsis:
A highly intelligent son of privileged background resists moving forward with his life owing to a tragic event in his past, allied to a dysfunctional relationship with his father. Then a mixture of chance and design places him within the orbit of a girl with similar issues who has managed to overcome them.
Review:
The kind of unlikely web of events that can too easily make for trashy movies is here the pretext for a delicately written and acted exploration of what constitutes a life well lived. The family dynamic is affectingly conveyed via a touching sibling relationship, even if the hero's antisocial behaviour and paternal issues are rather too neatly resolved before the shock twist ending. One of the actor's early attempts to break free of the 'Twilight idol' mould, this is superior romantic drama from a director who mostly worked in television.
