The Mystery of Her

This movie has a very touching storyline albeit a little slow at times. The cinematography was very beautiful. I particularly enjoyed the use of the drone to show off the gorgeous landscape. It was very cool to see Rochester represented in such an amazing way. The plot was a bit hard to follow in the beginning and some of the dialogue left more to be desired but besides that it was very well written. I particularly enjoyed the performances from Ali and Ethan.

I was on the border to whether to not watch another teenager movie but this was actually for all ages. The start of the movie forces you to watch to know what's happening. I don't want to tell the whole story but this movie draws you with good scripts and acting and what I like is that your trying to find out where it's going. Also what draws you is the scenery of the locations with beautiful landscapes and I was in awe of the art building with paintings and sculptures, I guess it helps if you have a 4K television, I would imagine it would of been great to watch this at a movie theater. I was happy with the ending.

Ali is athletic and she is smart. She is about to get a scholarship to attend a prestigious New York University when a car accident happens. It turns out she and her boyfriend had been arguing, he was probably driving too fast, he couldn't avoid the collision of the other car running a stop sign.

Outwardly she was hardly injured but the concussion from the air bags caused her to lose her memory of who she was. And the doctors frankly did not know if she would ever regain her normal memory functions.

As a result she tries to re-discover her memories, her home life, her friends, her various interests. That is basically what the movie is about. In the process the question arises, is who I was who I want to be again, or do I discover a me who is different? And if I do is that OK?

My wife and I watched it streaming on Amazon Prime. We found it to be nice, enjoyable smaller movie. The actor (Winter Andrews) who played her new friend Cameron also wrote and sang the title song playing over the end credits.

The cast & crew did a great job, you can see that a lot of time and effort went in to the quality of the movie!

I think certain aspects of the story could have been shorter; to me it felt like a long movie. But other than that it was nice. It was a coming of age story focused on discovering yourself. It made me think of a Hallmark movie.

I always say we always have to take a break from big budget movies and give low budget movies a chance. This movie is a perfect example of that.

This film has a very interesting story, maybe looking superficially you will find it cliché but looking deeply especially for those who are in coming of age will look from another perspective.

It's not a perfect movie but it's brilliant with a dedicated cast and a pretty spectacular score. It's really worth giving it a try.
