Clearly destined to be an underrated, under appreciated masterpiece by Lisa Joy, who clearly understands film noir better than most directors working today.

This movie has so much going for it. Written, directed and produced by Lisa Joy (creator of Westworld). Also produced by her husband Jonathan Nolan (brother and collaborator of Christopher Nolan). A trio of incredible leads in Hugh Jackman, Rebecca Ferguson and Thandiwe Newton. A score by Ramin Djawadi. So how is the result so unremarkable? Reminiscence is a very basic neo-noir story with some sci-fi trappings. Some intriguing imagery and interesting concepts can't make up for a severely underbaked screenplay. The [spoiler]flooded cities and the fact that they can't go out during the day[/spoiler] are interesting premises whose implications are not explored at all - they have exactly zero impact on the story. Turns out, making a Christopher Nolan movie is harder than it looks.

Even my huge crush on Rebecca Ferguson couldn't keep me interested in this. It starts off as a cheap HBO intro from the 90s as well. Put a bit more effort into the CG of the opening shot to make me take you seriously. Boringgggg and I see the contrarian fans will tout it as misunderstood. Yawn.

Every single film-noir cliche is in this movie. If you're familiar with the genre, you'll immediately recognize and predict every story beat.

Reminiscence is a movie where people buy the cow even though the milk is free. In an indeterminate future where Miami has become a Venice of the New World, Nick Bannister (Hugh Jackman) runs a business that uses technology to access the memories of people who want to relive their past.

An interesting combination of science fiction and film noir.
Not a perfect film - it drags in spots - but it is enjoyable if you're a sci-fi or noir fan.

The performances were solid. Rebecca Ferguson pulls off a very good femme fatale but the whole cast deserves a slow clap.

Lisa Joy, dire More
