Interesting subject matter. good acting. the ending left the plot unresolved.

Was an interesting film. Ending was disappointing but was good overall

JG

Very slow moving, but interesting twist near the end where a deep seated issue gets revealed. We now have 2 “broken” people finding solace in one another.

Great cast. Profound storytelling centered on the fragility of our memories, mental health & sobriety struggles, resilience and finding support wherever it may be. Blood doesn't always know best.

Overall, Memory is a beautifully crafted and emotionally resonant film that will stay with you long after the credits roll. It's a powerful reminder to cherish the moments we have and to live each day to the fullest, even in the face of loss.

This movie was pretty dark. Love the content dealing with past trauma and remembering the past. Actors were great, but the movie could have been better, and ending was disappointing.

The movie was good, albeit slow. I wish there was a better ending that gave you more answers. The acting was top notch and definitely addresses some though topics.

The subject matter shouldn't be comfortable, and it was not. Effective and very well made, but not a pleasant watch.

The tenacity of the main characters was inspiring. I could not relate to the story line but it certainly was interesting. Mental health is the upmost importance to evaluate where you are. This movie shows me not everyone has your best interest at hand.

Characters well-developed; kept me interested but too much left unresolved; ending left one feeling like “…and?” Because same thing was going to keep happening.

Too slow and sloppy movie. Felt like coming out of the theater many times. Movie scenes sequences are haywire. Doesn’t convey any message or give any fictional plot. Actors tried their best , but- without a good story it doesn’t glue to the screen !

Nice and bittersweet. Ending came abruptly, but I think it makes us come up with our own happy ending.

Well done film with a great cast and phenomenal acting. Everyone did a really good job of portraying characters you "probably" know to some extent.. making the story feel real. I think the writer and director purposely made certain scenes overly intense, to the point you…

Great story really enjoyed this movie. The characters were super raw and you felt no gloss.

Realistic. Maybe not him yelling at his brother for caring about his wellbeing nor him jumping into a relationship with someone who’s being paid to look after him when he was having bad cases dementia

The story from start to finish was a wonderful journey to follow these two broken people as they help each other heal. Man definitely worth seeing

I was a few minutes late, so unless I missed some really important info, this film was lacking something. it just didn't seem to have a full backstory. I kept thinking "ok, and now what", or "how are they connected?" Felt kind of lost most of the time

It was great movie but kind of depressing but I love it!!! I did cry when lady told her mom that the dad sexually abuse her when she was a child. All that time I thought lady was mentally unstable.

Just a very slow start to the film. A lot of scenes with some strange camera focusing. The story was alright just couldn’t get into much.

Bad ending. Could have been a good movie. What message were you trying to convey? Important subject matter not handled well.

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

Fueled by performances worth treasuring from Chastain and Sarsgaard, this impossible love story between a woman who can't forget and man who can't remember slowly works its way into your mind and heart. Filmmaker Michel Franco makes sure you’ll be moved to tears.

The tone is low-key, and Franco never presses the audience. Instead, he lets scenes happen, avoiding close-ups and all other means of exaggeration or emphasis.
