Cristalli di memoria

Not very good, but at least there was a moment of humor in this one, which is rare for Lifetime movies. They usually take themselves so seriously. If not for the funny line, I would've rated it 3 instead of 4, so it was worth a whole point higher on the rating scale.

The entire basic premise wasn't believable or realistic, so that alone is the reason for the low rating I gave it. But I do wish that Lifetime would use a names database of some kind to discover there are many different first names out there for males and females so they will stop using the same ones over and over again, such as David, Dan, Sarah, Allison, Kelly, Karen, etc. And they need to stop using the same actresses over and over again too, no matter how pretty they might be, such as Helena Mattson. This makes the fourth or fifth LMN movie I've seen her in in just the past two years.

And the amnesia plotline is very old and overdone, yet here it is again, along with a very selective memory - (she remembers her best friend but not her own husband) - which stretches our suspension of disbelief to the max.

To give the small amount of credit where it's due: they DID keep me guessing as to which one - or two - of the three people closest to Ms. Amnesia Victim was/were the villain(s) til the end.

The movie is so slow and boring that by an hour in you really don't care who pushed the lead out the window at the beginning of the movie because all the potential suspects are such uninteresting bores and so is the victim...In fact she was probably pushed out the window for being so boring. Recommended only if you're out of sleeping pills and need an alternative because this will put you out quick!

Beautiful Helen Mattson plays a woman artist and gallery owner pushed out a window and gets amnesia after a car crash fleeing. Who tried to kill her? There is her husband played by Corey Sevier. Her best friend from college and the friends husband who manages the art gallery. Also a real estate developer wants her gallery building. As far as Lifetime thrillers go this one has a little twist on the usual predictability. And a laugh out loud funny moment. The leads are attractive and work well together. Not asking for much so this one is above average. Liked the complete ending.

Swedish born Helena Mattsson is simply drop dead gorgeous and I love catfights. Hence, this is a very special Lifetime Movie Network film for me. Even discounting my natural prejudice for the movie, I consider this a superior LMN selection and strongly recommend it.

The storyline was decent overall. Character Development throughout the film flowed. Pacing from characters and storyline leading to the killer's identity was on point for a suspense thriller. I don't agree with other reviews on the characters being boring and the film moving too slow. It had good pacing and the motive believable especially for a Lifetime movie. The law enforcement inclusion didn't make me mad as the detective's storyline was written well enough to give us hope and not another "really?" moment. This by far was one of the 'good ones' in comparison to others I've had to endure or turn off because I couldn't waste another minute of watch time. Overall due to plot, ok characters and their storylines and the ending I would recommend this movie to my fellow Lifetime movie watchers.
