A woman who can’t forget meets a man who can’t remember in a thorny drama from Mexico’s Michel Franco that is bleak, sad and hopeful in equal measure. Both a showcase for two superb performances and a complex meditation on how the past shapes the present, Memory is also a romance in which two damaged souls forge an unlikely connection in the face of unresolved trauma ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚand mental deterioration.
Care worker Sylvia (Jessica Chastain) is a recovering alcoholic whose life revolves around her job, her sobriety and teenage daughter Anna (Brooke Timber). When a high-school reunion ends with a fellow attendee following her hom💧e, her well-ordered existence gets disconcertingly disrupted.
The man she awakes to find still slumped on her doorstep is Saul (Peter Sarsgaard), a widower living with early onset dementia who may or may not be one of the classmates who assaulted Sy♚lvia when she was a teenager. An offer from Saul’s niece (Eight Grade’s Elsie Fisher) to step in as his carer might be a chance for Sylvia to exact retribution – if only she could be as sure of her recollections as Saul is as shorn of h🌱is.
Chastain and Sarsgaard make a riveting duo in a film that – lꦯike Franco’s Tim Roth double Chronic and Sundown before it – is in no great hurry to elucidate its mysteries. An electrifying late confrontation between Sylvia and her estranged mother (Jessica Harper) offers a degree of clarity, however, while the ending does at least contain a glimmer of hard-won optimism.
is in US theatℱers 🍸now and in UK cinemas from February 23.
