Michel Franco\u2019s \u201cMemory\u201d examines how our ability to recall the chapters of our lives is everything, as we make sense of what we\u2019ve lost and gained, as well as garner a perception of who we are.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hearing that Franco wrote and directed the film gave me a sense of dread – I still remember his disturbing, punishing \u201cNew Order\u201d (2020) and wondered if his new film would also leave me feeling like I\u2019ve been kicked in the teeth.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, the artistic goals and design of \u201cMemory\u201d are far more compassionate.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s about two people- a man named Saul (Peter Sarsgaard), a widow suffering from dementia, and a lonely single mother named Sylvia (Jessica Chastain), who hasn\u2019t touched alcohol in 13 years but still attends her weekly meetings.<\/p>\n

One night, Saul discovers Sylvia at a party and follows her home. We\u2019re unsure if Saul is a stalker or someone from Sylvia\u2019s past. The next day, Sylvia takes pity on Saul and slowly becomes a part of his life, though their tortured pasts make every day a struggle.<\/p>\n

Sarsgaard plays his role without any Oscar-bait histrionics or showy demonstrations of his craft. Actually, he\u2019s rarely been more still.<\/p>\n

The actor finds ways to make Saul relatable and surprisingly sweet. This is one of my favorite performances Sarsgaard has given. Chastain has been consistently terrific for years, even in films that don\u2019t deserve her, but here, she captures a deeply complex and fascinating woman who is determined not to derail her journey of daily self-improvement.<\/p>\n
