Memory

"Unforgettable performances from Chastain and Sarsgaard (...) It’s also a film that lingers, shifting and expanding in significance, even as the details start to blur" 

"Chastain and Sarsgaard rise to the challenge of these complex roles. In particular, Sarsgaard finds truth in a gentle man who is constantly forced to reassess his situation and relationship with the people around him" 

"Jessica Chastain and Peter Sarsgaard are riveting as broken people fumbling for connection in Michel Franco’s moving drama" 

"Chastain and Sarsgaard are just fantastic, and find an ideal emotional register for Franco's dramatic somersaults" 

"[It] proves more user-friendly than his previous work" 

"Chastain has made a point in her career to play only women of inner strength. Sylvia’s isn’t immediate, but it’s there. Watching her hardened outsides come just slightly undone from the inside is as moving as watching Franco’s own do just that as he opens his heart up" 

"Both Chastain and Sarsgaard create moments where they tear through the very soul. Everything they do feels completely and utterly transcendent, pulling us right up into the many agonies at the core of the film"
