NOTHING SPECIAL



Alzheimer's succumbing a very young woman is something that we already saw recently, especially in the Western cinematographies (e.g. „Still Alice”) Although with a strong potential for brutal and heartwrenching story, „A moment to remember” just fails to deliver a convincing and non-pathetic result.

Script revolves on a uneven pace, with major plots and subplots happening out of the blue and without proper preparation and motivation.

„A moment to remember” falls behind its Western contemporaries significantly.

NAÏVE AND CHEAP



Dutch cinematography is one of the European’s more obscure film industries, but „The memory of a killer” just isn’t the flick to begin your exploration of it.

Story about the professional killer with fast-paces Alzheimer’s disease is so naïve and cheap that it can barely be watched. Just barely.

TOO AMERICANISH

One of highly rated Argentine flicks brings us a mellow and artificially sweetened story about a busy and selfish son that neglects his parents and the fathers desire to marry almost totally demented mother inside the church before she dies. Ricardo Darin is the male star lead, but falls behind with his acting, as well as the rest of the overacted ensemble. Comical elements could have been a lifesaver for this one, but they are, alas, rare and scattered.

”Son of the bride” should have been filmed as a romantic comedy in the US and not in Argentina.
