Reminiscence | Ratings & Reviews

"Reminiscence is a complicated film, and the reasons it doesn’t come together are as numerous as its ideas."

Time OutTime Out

"There's ultimately no saving the movie from its unevenness or the clunkier plot points that emerge..."

CNNCNN

"Joy doesn't lack for ideas. It's just that there are too many and few of them original."

Boston GlobeBoston Globe

"For all its visual wonder - and this is a gorgeous film with spectacular production design - neither the characters not their journey are all that engaging. The result is a film that meanders through familiar beats without ever finding its own voice."

Film School RejectsFilm School Rejects

"I am thankful for the return of a good noir, and adding the sci-fi angle makes it that much better. If you’ve longed for a good mystery thriller, then this is the film for you."

Film ThreatFilm Threat

"For a film about memories, Reminiscence is ultimately truly forgettable."

The Globe and MailThe Globe and Mail

"Perhaps the greatest crime of Reminiscence is how effortlessly it wastes the collective appeal of its A-list cast."

RogerEbert.comRogerEbert.com

"Highfalutin, lightly enjoyable mush..."

The New York TimesThe New York Times

"(A) forgettable mix of detective pulp, dystopic science fiction and dead ends..."

Rolling StoneRolling Stone

"Rather than boldly utilise its sci-fi premise to toy with its noir trappings, the film traffics in the familiar, finding only solace in bygone genre tropes."

Slant MagazineSlant Magazine

"Inventive and ambitious but wildly convoluted and ultimately disappointing."

Chicago Sun-TimesChicago Sun-Times

"Despite a few dog-eared moments, Reminiscence mixes the old and the new with high-flying flair."

FilmInkFilmInk

"The whole thing tips overboard, sunk by the weight of its own silliness."

Entertainment WeeklyEntertainment Weekly

"Enjoyably dense but a little plodding."

A.V. ClubA.V. Club

"Unfortunately, the deeper the mystery grows, the rougher Reminiscence becomes. Joy's script grows clunky and needlessly confusing."

Slash FilmSlash Film

"A soggy near-future noir that fatally misunderstands the past..."

IndieWireIndieWire

"A thinly plotted noir that shamelessly cribs from the Christopher Nolan playbook..."

The GuardianThe Guardian

"Reminiscence plays like a perfectly calibrated two-hour mirage of things we’ve seen before."

VarietyVariety

"A little more attention on the plotting over the sci-fi bells and whistles and this could have been something to remember."

Empire MagazineEmpire Magazine

"Instantly forgettable."
