Reminiscence

Vision de Miami inondée dans un imper noir de lumières nocturnes, avec un Jackman amoureux, perdu dans le charme de Rebecca, la femme fatale, a quelque chose de spécial. Blade Runner et Sin City vous reviennent en mémoire et Rebecca, chantant sur scène dans une robe rouge, rappelle même le souvenir de Jessica Rabbit animée dans Qui veut la peau de Roger Rabbit ? Le potentiel d'une belle et émouvante histoire d'amour est ici compromis par une intrigue de détective ennuyeuse et bancale. Cela nuit également à la signification d'une stylisation formelle intéressante. (19/10/2021)

J’apprécie la tentative de néo-noir old-school au style original, ainsi que le cadre futuriste particulier, mais malheureusement, Reminiscence manque de satisfaire en tant que spectacle cinématographique et tire en longueur comme pas possible. Il m’a fallu trois séances avant d’en arriver à bout, alors que c’est un genre qu’on pourrait dire taillé pour moi ! L’effort est perceptible, mais c’est un coup dans l’eau. (16/06/2022)

This film had so much potential but failed to deliver. A sci-fi romance with a strong cast, yet a disappointingly weak script. Most of the time, nothing much happens. The stunning visuals make the lack of substance even more frustrating. The ending is the only interesting part, but in the context of the entire film, it feels almost sad. (20/06/2022)

Not my cup of coffee, but more digestible than I'd expected, though I would have preferred Logan 2. It has a pretty interesting story about unlocking lost memories and it’s a shame that it had to go down the romantic-crime line. I would have been more interested in the memories of assassins and hitmen, but it's directed by a woman, so there’s. Hugh Jackman is solid and Rebecca Ferguson is irresistibly seductive, though I found her character quite underused. It's got quite nice and intimate visuals, surprisingly there are two action scenes (one shootout and one fight), but the finale didn't grab me, it lacks a distinct style. Reminiscence doesn't really stand out, it's about half throttle, but the ladies might be satisfied, the emotions work really well here and the dialogue had something going for it at times, too. Story 3/5, Action 2/5, Humour 0/5, Violence 0/5, Fun 3/5 Music 3/5, Visuals 4/5, Atmosphere 3/5, Suspense 2/5, Emotions 3/5. 6/10. (23/08/2021)

Hugh Jackman searches his own memories to find out what happened to his love, Rebecca Ferguson, but he may not be prepared for what he finds. Lisa Joy delivers a visually appealing combination of science fiction and noir that perhaps borrows too much from other films, but the two hours pass unexpectedly pleasantly. (25/08/2021)
