 Reviews for Remember Me have largely found the film unable to live up to its potential. The film centers on the romance between a brooding Tyler (Robert Pattinson) and Ally (Emilie De Ravin), two people who have faced personal tragedy but for Variety's Todd McCarthy "...the romance never feels intense or deep enough to fully serve this purpose." Most criticisms revolve around Will Fetter's script with the Village Voice's Nick Pinkerton commenting that, "Fetters also has a knack for announcing his own clichés, which is what passes for self-awareness." The film is Pattinson's first major theatrical release since the blockbuster series but for Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune, Pattinson's strong acting cannot overcome the weakness of the film, "Pattinson — a good actor, though the movie can't quit enshrining his brooding skills — struggles to find a through-line to this generalized notion of F. Scott Fitzgerald/J.D. Salinger raw youth." There are several dissenters including The Hollywood Reporter's Kirk Honeycutt and famed critic Roger Ebert but for the most part critics found the film to be disappointing. |
