Review of Embers (2015) by Annie B — 15 Sep 2017
Embers depicts a future in which we only have short term memory and asks important questions like: Is true love powerful enough to transcend memory? How do we fall in love if we can't remember who we loved yesterday? These are some of the most compelling questions presented in the movie, driven by characters played by Jason Ritter and Iva Gocheva.
Other questions are presented through different characters and, while they are compelling, they spread the movie a little too thin. Each big question should have an equally big story, yet, in the movie, big questions are presented through a series of small stories. This quickens the movie's pacing but leaves questions a little too unanswered for them to have an impact on me.
