I definitely recommend watching this film, and be patient. It's worth it. This film takes its sweet time but it is incredibly impactful.
The film spends its time teaching you about our characters and using sad events in their lives to get us to sympathize with them, which just about works. The story for how these characters came to meet isn't really that interesting but it makes sense, feels like it was a bit half arsed.
I'm writing this after watching the film for a second time, so even though I was expecting the ending, it didn't make it any less sad and tense. I'll never forget the surge of emotions, of my first playthrough, when I saw the date on the chalkboard. That moment is when it hit me and I spent a good few seconds in disbelief. This film goes from 0 to 10 in a few written words, they don't even say anything. In the entire climax of the film, nothing is said, no direct comments, which allows the scenes and the music to create the amazing atmosphere. I'd be lying if I said I didn't cry both times after watching this. Expecting it doesn't take away from the experience.
One of the best and powerful movies I ever saw, the acting, the music, the actors themselves... it's just a really good mix, although it can be slow sometimes, but...
the ending just gets me every time, I cry like a baby, it's just becoming my go to movie if I want to cry.
The ending was totally unnecessary
i wanted to give it 6 but for the last ten mins ..and the music too :") i just remembered one beloved person , passed away years ago , i just miss em ..much.
the ending omg it got me crying fr
very cute, the ending is </3
this film emotionally scarred me for life.
The first three quarters of this movie were fairly pedestrian. Robert Pattinson and the female lead were both doing a fine job of carrying the proverbial mail, and the only issue that was outstanding was how the whole thing was going to be wrapped up. I had a bit of an odd feeling in that things were starting to wrap up at a time in the movie when things are usually falling apart. The music reinforced this notion - something was coming. And then it came. I kind of like when a movie throws something in from out of nowhere that causes the viewer to completely re-process everything that they have already seen. It was a pretty decent movie.

Great role played by Ruby Jerins. And Pattinson as always is playing only characters with twisted personalities...
This movie blew me away...I watched it for the second time now and it still feels as powerful...Gandhi said that whatever you do in life will be insignificant, but it's very important that you do it because nobody else will. Like when someone comes into your life and half of you says: "You're nowhere near ready". And the other half says: "Make her yours forever". Michael, Caroline asked me what would I say if I knew you could hear me. I said: "I do know. I love you. God, I miss you, and I forgive you.''
Lmao the ending was so unnecessary. The vigilante scene seems like Pattinson’s Batman origin story. I enjoyed seeing him in this, much of the film feels extraordinarily melancholic to some point of absurdity. A guy dealing with the aftermath of his brother’s suicide was enough trauma to put a strain on his anyone’s relationships. But the writers didn’t think it would suffice so they sledgehammered all the trauma possible into the script.
Here's my message to the idiot who came up with the ending to this movie...
You are a freaking ass-hole for using 9/11 has a cheap tearjerker ending that comes out of nowhere and doesn't fit at all. Did the person honestly think this was appropriate to put at the end? The rest of the movie was alright until the ending happened. F**k this movie.
The Five Emojis of Remember Me

The only actors who really do something interesting with their given material and put in good performances are Emilie de Ravin and Chris Cooper.
de Ravin plays well together with Robert Pattinson, and they have real chemistry.
The few dramatic scenes are the best parts of this film.
:neutral_face:
Pattinson is okay, but doesn't leave a lasting impression.
The music or the visuals don't really try to lift this film to another level.
The script is nothing new and it's neither inspiring nor particularly interesting.
It starts out slow and doesn't get going until late into its runtime.
The pacing issues continue throughout the entire film, with a few interesting moments in the middle.
:frowning2:
That ending is emotional, but only because of the cheap final twist that has been thrown in from nowhere for shock value.
Remember Me tries to handle themes of sorrow, loss and desperation but never gets fully immersed in said themes. The story stays in shallow waters all the time.
This is one of those movies where a lot is said and done but nothing ever really happens.
There is really no emotional impact, apart from a few funny moments here and there.
:face_vomiting:
Pierce Brosnan is completely wasted in this film and takes on a terrible accent.
They could have made so much with the story and the themes presented in the film without having to resort to the terrible ending.
The Final Emoji: :frowning2:
What a muddled mess! Fantastic cast: Lena Olin, Pierce Brosnan, Chris Cooper, Emilie de Ravinn, Robert Pattinson, even a cameo by Martha Plimpton (uncredited). Killer ending. Fantastic premise. But everything else just couldn't pull it together. I almost didn't make it through the first 20 minutes. I thought, "Such a great international cast, why waste it on this movie, and why put it in New York and force a Queens accents on everyone?" Now I know that they must have lured the cast with the nobility of the premise. It's just such a shame they couldn't make good on the promise. Cast, ending, and premise aside, it is a bad movie. I give it a 6 out of 10, 3 for the movie and an extra point each for cast, ending and premise..
