Ricordati di me, (Remember Me, My Love) Reviews

small-minded and shallow

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

Gabriele Muccino essentially subjects the audience to what Giulia subjects her family to in the film: a lot of unnecessary drama.

Full Review

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

| Original Score: 2/4

The glimpses of human behavior feel genuine.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

Even Monica Bellucci as Carlo's former girlfriend can't save it from mediocrity.

Full Review

I liked it; you may not. It may come down to your level of fascination with people who scream and gesture wildly in melodramatic Italian.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4

It's an intriguing premise executed unintriguingly.

| Original Score: 2/4

The people in Remember Me, My Love evaporate the minute the lights come up.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4

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.

Full Review

Gabriele Muccino cunningly plays his characters as a unit and as individuals, allowing for a continual series of dramatic vignettes.

Remember Me, My Love is hard to forget.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/4

Remember Me, My Love might sound like a love story, but it makes romance look pretty bleak.

Full Review | Original Score: B

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

Full Review | Original Score: C+

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

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

Full Review | Original Score: C

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.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4

It's a narcissist's picnic; all of the characters are so unapologetically selfish in their passion to maximize their human potential that it's difficult to care about any of them, one way or another.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5

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.

Full Review

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

Full Review | Original Score: A-

Muccino and co-writer Heidrun Schleef's script is filled with the kind of sad wisdom that comes with age, and the film is acted with maximum fidelity to the emotional ugliness of real life.
