Review of Forget Me Not (2010) by Mike M — 14 Apr 2011
Skews more adult than its predecessors ("Last Chance Harvey" excluded), and the leads do a good job of suggesting grown-ups either weighing up or burdened by their position in the grand scheme of things.
Menzies gives us flashes of charm, more often obscured by a hazy somnolence that chimes with later narrative revelations; and if O'Reilly makes an unlikely barmaid - even if she *is* Antipodean - she's not short on the vivacity that might pull someone out of a funk.
.. The wrong notes and false steps in the central relationship are few and far between: the final scenes even succeed in subverting the "Four Weddings" saw of lovers caught in the rain, plotting a surprisingly deft, even touching course through what could so easily have become soggy terrain.
