On the surface, the Ristuccia family appears to have it all: Carlo (Fabrizio Bentivoglio) has a well-paying, secure job; Giulia (Laura Morante) is getting more beautiful with age; 18-year-old Valentina (Nicoletta Romanoff) has dreams of dancing stardom; and 19-year-old Paolo (Silvio Muccino) has fallen in love. But, as is the case with most things in life, desperation and hopelessness lie just around the corner. When Carlo bumps into a former flame (Monica Bellucci), the floodgates of passion are opened. Meanwhile, the other characters must confront demons of their own. After a near-fatal tragedy, the family is finally forced to confront its downward spiral. Muccino's bittersweet drama critically yet empathetically captures the lives of these tender souls. He uses sweeping Steadicam cinematography to reflect the swirling emotions within each character, and layers the picture with stacks of pop music. But Muccino's greatest talent lies in casting. As the conflicted Carlo, Bentivoglio shines, while Romanoff and Muccino (the director's brother) are completely natural in their roles. But the film's real standouts are Morante and Bellucci, two of the world's most beautiful actresses, who somehow manage to present themselves with a heartbreakingly believable fragility. [More]

There just doesn't seem the need for this much needy self-absorption.

For such a downbeat story, the film is full of humor and vivacity. The characters, though frustrated and delusional, are fully realized by the exceptional cast.

A lively if overlong movie that allows for the full spectrum of human emotion and behavior.

Remember Me, My Love is well acted all around, but Muccino is proving to be an especially wonderful director of women.

It's an intriguing premise executed unintriguingly.

The 48-year-old Morante is the real thing; like Deneuve, Rampling, and Huppert, she graces middle age with both intelligence and a rumpled, lived-in sex appeal.

Very well acted and directed, if overlong.

It’s obvious that Muccino’s annoying case of Magnoliaitis is only getting worse by the minute.

If it were less prone to soap-opera histrionics, this screechy saga of an upscale family collapsing under the weight of its members' self-absorption might have something worth saying.

The film works as a slice of life but has nothing valuable to say about people or the way they conduct their relationships.

Achieves the dubious distinction of featuring a large gallery of nearly all unlikable characters.

One of the best movies ever about the universal yearning for affirmation and the complications that arise when it is missing in intimate relationships.

The movie is being sold as a romance with the tag line: 'Some loves are never forgotten.' But the only love evident here is self-love, and the overall feel is disturbingly soulless.

How often does a director make pretty much the same film twice in a row and pretty much nail it both times?

A poignant look at Italian contemporary life where traditional values continue to crumble.
