Although it is at times flawed, Memory is a great vehicle for its protagonists to shine. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 7, 2025

It’s a tale filled with regrets and recriminations, but writer-direct Michel Franco cleverly only gradually reveals all the details, keeping the viewer guessing as to where our sympathies should lie.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 30, 2024

A shrewdly selective release of crucial information throughout the script makes Memory a genuinely unforgettable experience.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 20, 2024

The emerging cliche of the "trauma dump" gets more fuel in this dreary drama about an unlikely couple...an emotionally constipated dirge that is slow and increasingly dull.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 15, 2024

A movie with a simply devastating and beautiful idea: you sometimes just need someone to remember for you.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Nov 15, 2024

…. a sometimes-frustrating, sometimes-tender depiction of the ways that the human brain can work against itself.

| Original Score: 13.5/20 | Nov 9, 2024

The film demands a certain patience but, if you meet it halfway, it is both human and moving.

| Original Score: 17/20 | Oct 25, 2024

An intimate and softly provoking dementia drama with some brilliant performances, it is genuinely interesting to see how Memory plays out. It teases darker directions the narrative could take but remains restrained.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 25, 2024

Watching Chastain and Sarsgaard share the screen is a worthwhile exercise...those who have seen similar progressions in friends and family matters to what both Sylvia and Saul go through will surely find their portrayals resonant.

| Original Score: B+ | Jul 23, 2024

Sarsgaard bares body and soul as Saul, presenting to us a broken man without ever once demanding pity.

| Jul 12, 2024

Memory is weighty and intense and therefore not an easy watch, but its thematic richness and fully committed performances render it a more-than-worthy adult drama.

| Jul 8, 2024

Memory is a melodrama that dresses pain with too many layers of misery, an excess of traumas that Franco confronts with a beautiful yet dark love story sustained by Jessica Chastain and, especially Peter Sarsgaard. [Full review in Spanish]

| Jun 21, 2024

Franco's best film with performances worthy of an Oscar. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 20, 2024

Memory is a remarkably humane film that avoids any obvious missteps that would see it collapse into movie-of-the-week social issue melodrama terrain

| Jun 18, 2024

Despite its melancholic tone, Memory also offers a glimmer of hope. But what really makes it memorable are Chastain and Sarsgaard's performances. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 17, 2024

Assuring that his fine narrative development leads to a positively simplistic resolution, Franco directs the film with both elemental allure and haunting familiarity.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | May 14, 2024

A challenging, painful, but ultimately hopeful drama of two people afflicted by a loss and a surfeit of memory.

| Original Score: 4 | Mar 21, 2024

Chastain and Sarsgaard are a class act — their touching, tactile chemistry is the film’s triumph.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 18, 2024

Insinuating and bravely acted, Memory is plotted like a play: there are shades of Florian Zeller’s The Father, albeit with the dementia theme as only one side of the coin here.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 29, 2024

A well-acted but dull entry in the Hollywood suffering sweepstakes, the film features Chastain in a rare onscreen romance... and a curious one it turns out to be, with a particularly tender scene in a bathtub.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 28, 2024
