Filmmaker Kim Snyder chronicles her own painful struggle with the condition, profiles other sufferers, and researches overlooked past outbreaks of what came to be known as "Yuppie Flu." Snyder interviews a wide range of medical professionals, who have wildly varying theories about the condition. With such confusion about what the condition actually is, and little evidence as to what causes it, Snyder shows how the medical establishment, particularly the CDC, has viewed the condition skeptically and investigated it halfheartedly, allowing people with CFS to become stigmatized as hypochondriacs. Through her interviews and profiles of sufferers--particularly one high school student who has been paralyzed by CFS--she shows just how debilitating and painful CFS can be. She also explores a little-known outbreak, which took place in Florida decades before the syndrome was recognized, and interviews survivors and doctors from those cases. Snyder also interviews director Blake Edwards (THE PINK PANTHER) and soccer star and Olympic gold medalist Michelle Akers, who describe how their happy lives and successful careers were nearly destroyed by CFS.

Director Kim Snyder suffers from the syndrome herself, so it's all the more remarkable that she actually got a complete film made, much less one this compelling.

Perhaps it will prompt some researchers not only to learn of the symptoms but to look further at the cause.

Never successfully striking a balance, the filmmaker only manages to create a confusing, rambling and poorly edited succession of stories.

A documentary which does what the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta shamefully failed to do: connects the dots.

This well-made documentary is to be commended for its passionate overview of the troubling illness known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

A tender, yet pointed documentary of perseverance, thwarted hope and medical buffoonery.

Well edited, with an informative narration, the film is an important step toward understanding this bizarre disease.

An intrepid sleuth, Ms. Snyder seems to have left no stone unturned in her search for answers.

It's the sufferers themselves ... that make the film so interesting.

The interpolated stock footage is a misguided attempt at visual poetry, and some of the testimonials are underedited, but as a work of passionate advocacy, I Remember Me can't be faulted.
