The Mystery of Her

A girl who lost herself... Due to a car accident she has lost a lot of her memories , herself.

It is not an action movie. Not a rousing movie night pick.

When you are sick of block buster hype, of binging squid games, this is worth a watch.

It is a movie for cozy times. For a cold winter night with older children and the wife, something to share.

The movie is extremely believable. I have two teenage daughters, and can relate. I have a son who has given me grand kids, and so can relate to the second sub plot as well.

I venture to say the older you are, the more meaning the movie has. But it is worth watching for teens as well. The movie is not a miracle cure, but it will show both young and old viewers that not giving up is key and trying to understand both sides really helps. Movie illustrates, with no preaching, that no one is perfect, and that it is ok.

The camera work is very good, the sound is great, the use of music at the right time very fitting. The acting is above average.

Think of the movie as taking a walking in a favorite park, with a brook running nearby. Won't be a thrilling walk, but will be good for the soul and the mind.

If you watch it let the movie play out. Just enjoy the walk.

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 got caught up in the mystery of what the girl was going through. Had to find out if she regained her memory by the end of the movie or not. Liked the characters, they seemed real to what was going on and this is based on a true story.

I always say we always have to take a break from big budget movies and give low budget movies a chance. This movie is a perfect example of that.

This film has a very interesting story, maybe looking superficially you will find it cliché but looking deeply especially for those who are in coming of age will look from another perspective.

It's not a perfect movie but it's brilliant with a dedicated cast and a pretty spectacular score. It's really worth giving it a try.

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!
