The Mystery of Her

While watching, I kept thinking what an amazing job was done with the different settings, props, and beautiful scenery shots. The movie held an intriguing and mysterious feel that kept me on the edge of my seat, and it was awesome to see young actors deliver truly great performances! This film held all the traditional aspects of a high school coming- of- age drama, but with several characters and relationships to keep you wondering. Enjoyed watching this on my night in, and I would totally recommend to friends!

Ali is athletic and she is smart. She is about to get a scholarship to attend a prestigious New York University when a car accident happens. It turns out she and her boyfriend had been arguing, he was probably driving too fast, he couldn't avoid the collision of the other car running a stop sign.

Outwardly she was hardly injured but the concussion from the air bags caused her to lose her memory of who she was. And the doctors frankly did not know if she would ever regain her normal memory functions.

As a result she tries to re-discover her memories, her home life, her friends, her various interests. That is basically what the movie is about. In the process the question arises, is who I was who I want to be again, or do I discover a me who is different? And if I do is that OK?

My wife and I watched it streaming on Amazon Prime. We found it to be nice, enjoyable smaller movie. The actor (Winter Andrews) who played her new friend Cameron also wrote and sang the title song playing over the end credits.

I was on the border to whether to not watch another teenager movie but this was actually for all ages. The start of the movie forces you to watch to know what's happening. I don't want to tell the whole story but this movie draws you with good scripts and acting and what I like is that your trying to find out where it's going. Also what draws you is the scenery of the locations with beautiful landscapes and I was in awe of the art building with paintings and sculptures, I guess it helps if you have a 4K television, I would imagine it would of been great to watch this at a movie theater. I was happy with the ending.

This movie has a very touching storyline albeit a little slow at times. The cinematography was very beautiful. I particularly enjoyed the use of the drone to show off the gorgeous landscape. It was very cool to see Rochester represented in such an amazing way. The plot was a bit hard to follow in the beginning and some of the dialogue left more to be desired but besides that it was very well written. I particularly enjoyed the performances from Ali and Ethan.

The movie had a sweet & sentimental storyline that was very genuine. Ali's journey of discovering who she was in the past & who she is now was interesting to watch unfold. The beautiful music & scenery added to the overall emotion of the movie. Would recommend!
