Review of Memoria (2021) by Markymark — 17 Jan 2022

Be warned, around 40-50 minutes of the running time is dedicated to characters standing, sleeping, or sitting, or staring at nothing, or else characters watching other characters standing, sleeping, or sitting, or staring at nothing.

The effect is so peaceful that to avoid sleeping myself during a particularly sedentary 10 minute scene where nothing happens but a character sleeps, including a minute or two of the camera filming just his feet as he sleeps, I found myself laughing.

Thank God I wasn't in a cinema... Yet, somehow, it is definitely worthwhile, and I am happy I persisted. I doubt Michael Bay would have been a good choice to direct this film.
