This lurid and disorienting story of an old man out for revenge is a Memento-like narrative puzzle enhanced by the immense presence of Christopher Plummer.
March 31, 2016
There is no actor currently at work capable of embodying the complexity of this character like Plummer.
March 18, 2016
Plummer, against all odds, brings pathos and dignity to a role that doesn't deserve him.

Remember is a hard sell, but like Zev, in the end you reach a point of satisfaction and witness a job well done.

Remember is a gloriously trashy thriller, turning a narrative that could have easily been prestige season awards-bait into pure nonsensical pulp.

Atom Egoyan's bold but often ludicrous Remember plays a like a mash-up of The Terminator, Marathon Man and Memento, as filtered through the lens of an old Twilight Zone episode.

A shaky premise meets a shaky protagonist in "Remember."
December 31, 2016
The great performance of Plummer isn't quite wasted, but it deserved better.
July 14, 2016
Plummer himself is perfect for this role. There aren't too many others who could convincingly play a demented nonagenarian with such verve.
March 24, 2016
Plummer is, by far, the best thing about the film.
July 20, 2016
The film's real thrills are to be found in the fragility and confusion of Plummer's performance. At 85, few actors find leading roles and he's the oldest actor to have won an Oscar (for Beginners); he deserved better than this.

There is too much convenient coincidence and less tension than a payback drama needs, but the cast is as good as always.
