Review of Remember Me (2010) by Douglasr. — 15 Mar 2010
Robert Pattison. Oh boy. I'm going to try to tone down the hyperbole because, in all honesty, I found this performance to be completely mesmerizing. Every tic of his character, every word spoken is so natural it burns.
Yes, the film is well-directed and the technical aspects are top as well (I don't know about you but I thought the film was wonderfully photographed and editied) but without Pattinson, I doubt I would have loved this film as much as I did.
For the film itself to work, especially with its ending, the audience really needs to connect to Tyler. And we do. Pattinson's fearless dive into the darker and shady mental pitfalls of his character are fascinating to watch, just as they are sometimes difficult to as well.
But in the scenes between Tyler and Ally (Emilie de Ravin) we see the charming aspects of him and we follow his blossoming into a man who has found what he needed.... someone who understands him. Pattinson reminds me of a young Monty Clift here.
(Or dare I say Jimmy Dean.) And this is all coming from a guy who thinks he deserved Razzies for the "Twilight" movies.
