What to Know

Critics Consensus

Remember risks wandering into exploitative territory, but it's bolstered by some of Egoyan's best latter-day directing and a typically stellar performance from Christopher Plummer.

Dwight Brown National Newspaper Publishers Association Once Remember begins to unfold, the astonishment of watching an elderly man, who is losing his memory minute-by-minute, become a one-man Nazi hunter is intoxicating. Nov 8, 2016 Full Review David Stratton The Australian A strong supporting cast also does good work, and the film -- as is the case of all Egoyan's films -- is made with smooth professionalism. It's a pity that it increasingly strays into the direction of almost laughable improbability. Rated: 2.5/5 May 13, 2016 Full Review Jake Wilson The Age (Australia) The performance by Plummer, now in his mid-80s, amounts to a masterclass on how to use one's actual physical limitations to advantage. Rated: 3/5 May 12, 2016 Full Review Kip Mooney College Movie Review A film you won't soon forget. Rated: B+ Aug 29, 2021 Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse The thrills come with the search, but Remember's main buzz comes from Plummer's heartfelt and assured performance as a man struggling to reconcile the past with the present. Rated: 4/5 Mar 4, 2021 Full Review Joanne Laurier World Socialist Web Site The ability of Nazi criminals to hide their past from "their families" does indeed take center stage, but in an almost entirely gimmicky, contrived manner.

Luke W A phenomenal, beautiful, horrifying film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/04/25 Full Review Jack P Brilliant screenplay. The ending left me without words. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/06/25 Full Review Amir S A very beautiful film with an amazing plot twist. It's a film that left me speechless because of most of what the twist presents. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/25/25 Full Review Alain E Totally absorbing until the very end this is a story about guilt and revenge taking place in the setting of senile dementia. Christopher Plummer is the elderly widower on a mission orchestrated by another resident of his retirement facility. He gives a very credible performance of an old man trying to retain some control while he is losing his mental faculties. In my opinion the situations presented ring true. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/06/25 Full Review Wiebe B A well scripted and acted story. The end is very memorable. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/17/24 Full Review Jelisije J An old man suffering from dementia is on a mission of revenge to find and hunt Nazis hiding in America. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/25/24 Full Review Read all reviews
