There are intriguing issues swirling around the film, but [director] Kofman never brings it to a boil, never finds the deeper, truer meaning inside the ideas he is grappling with.

Director Gil Kofman's attempt is noble in trying to show this descent into madness, but something rings false.

In The Memory Thief, a strange and melancholy journey to the heart of madness, a rootless young man finds meaning in the horrors of a stolen past.
May 9, 2008 | Rating: 4/5 -
Another case study delving into the hubris and insult of trying too hard to feel someone else's pain.
May 9, 2008 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review… -
The film is (perhaps deliberately) as unbalanced as its protagonist, one whose fury ultimately seems directed either nowhere in particular or in too many directions at once -- until things eventually devolve into a Taxi Driver riff.

Audience Reviews for The Memory Thief
-
Apr 25, 2012A curious piece wherein a aimless young man without much of a life finds himself by strangely identifying with Holocaust survivors ... their lives were taken from them, you see. What begins as a fancy, a whim, soon becomes an obsession, and the youngster slips into a kind of madness. My guess is that there is some sort of commentary here about the rootlessness of modern times. It certainly has moments that simultaneously ring true and are disconcerting.Kevin M. W Super Reviewer
