Ellie Carter has never met the man who calls himself her husband, doesn't recognize the girl who calls her mother, and can't remember the life she is told is her own. Afflicted by violent seizures that reset her memory without warning, she is trapped in a cyclical nightmare, struggling to uncover the horrifying truth of her existence--before she forgets it all over again.

6.5/10
Affection presents a compelling moral quandary through an understated, sci-fi lens. Go to Full Review DarkSkyLady DarkSkyLady Reviews Dec 9
Affection is gripping, physically uncomfortable, and engrossing as it builds to its climax with a twist. Go to Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies Nov 5
2.5/5
The movie takes some admirable big swings which opens the door for some delightfully grisly makeup and effects. And to the film's credit, it makes a poignant and personal statement on grief and isolation. Go to Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film Nov 3

3.5/5
Affection is steeped in existential questions and fears that plague modern society, while it embraces the ethos of the ’80s through body horror. Add to that Rothe’s revelatory performance and this is a gem that will connect with your mind, body, and soul. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
