- 8.0 The TelegraphRobbie Collin
What makes 'Remember' more immediately appealing than either is the way it leaves its mechanisms proudly on display.
Read - 4.0 The Hollywood ReporterDavid Rooney
A geriatric revenge fantasy so increasingly preposterous that it trivializes both the pain of surviving Holocaust victims and the debate over how best to serve justice with war criminals.
Read - 2.0 The GuardianBenjamin Lee
Atom Egoyan brings another misfire to Toronto with this cheaply-shot film about a nursing home escapee looking for belated revenge.
