Memórias de Uma Paixão

An enjoyable watch. Fun performances by Brian Cox and Caroline Sihol. A delightful look at love and it's power over time. Should have ended early... but still worth the watch!

Great movie directed by Martin Rosete (Money, Voice Over) with an amazing cast (Bruce Dern, Sienna Guillory, Brian Cox...). Highly recommended!!!!!

It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience to watch two masters of their craft, Bruce Dern and Brian Cox take us on a journey revolving around that age-old idiom, 'There is life in the old dog yet.' Their chemistry is magical, and their scene work had me laughing out loud. Of course, that is in part to a beautiful screenplay and a talented director's masterful hand. Special mentions to Sienna Guillory who stole scenes and Caroline Silhol, who brought me to tears through her carefully crafted and poignant interpretation of her character's plight. Whimsically: the story reminded me of the Dylan Thomas prose, 'Rage, rage against the dying of the light.' The reason being a majority of the characters start in their last chapters, but life will give you the next chapter if you're willing to find a reason to fight for it. An excellent film for any age but one to watch with your elders; it may be an inspiration to them.

I decided to watch this following a review on here stating it's better than 'The Notebook' (a film that I thoroughly enjoyed). Unfortunately it's not a patch on The Notebook!!! Not even close!!! ......Remember Me was flat and lackluster and just didn't move me at all (and I'm someone who cries at the drop of a hat!!!). I was bored about 20 minutes in but gave it the benefit of the doubt and continued to watch in the hope it would get better. It didn't!!! I totally wasted 1½ hours of my time.

If you want to watch a film that heartily incorporates love, nostalgia and Alzheimer's into its storyline; look no further than The Notebook - visually beautiful, great direction and delivered by good actors. In fact, I wish I had watched that again instead of this copycat nonsense.

I thought I was a hopeless romantic but I don't hold a candle to this dude. Funny and sad no doubt he loves Lilly.
