I Remember You

The plot/story is based on Yrsa Sigurðardóttir's mystery novel, and so it has aspects of a good mystery and a ghost story. The screenwriters and the actors did a great job, and I didn't mind having to read the subtitles. Although, I did have to pay close attention throughout the whole film in order to understand the plot, which contains layers of complexity. In the end, it paid off because there are some very eerie, creepy scenes.

If you require a lot of blood and gore, then this may not be your kind of film. But if you enjoy good ghost stories with past history tied to the plot, then I definitely recommend it. "Chilly" might be a good word to describe the atmosphere of the film, not only because of the supernatural material but also because the Icelandic countryside looks quite chilly and remote.

Again, kudos go to all of the people who helped to make this film. I look forward to seeing future work from the director, Óskar Thór Axelsson.

You may watch it once with low hopes. Starts really well but loses steam along the way. The plot is unique and yet not convincing enough. It is definitely worth a watch.

It has beautiful scenery in locations seldom seen on film, but the story is too loose to develop any real tension. There's one effective jump scare, but that's it. And the confusing parallel timeline structure doesn't add anything to the drama. Best avoided.

I wouldn't say I Remember You is a bad movie, not at all actually, but it's probably not a movie I will watch a second time though, and that's why I just gave it a 6 out of 10. From a 7 are the movies I would watch again. The story is not bad, with enough mystery to keep you interested, but it is just a bit too slow and there are a couple things that could have used more explanation. The cast was good. I didn't know any of them and that's not a surprise since Icelandic movies are not the most common and popular, but that doesn't mean there are no good actors there. The setting is everything you expect when you think about Iceland, not much else to see than bare lands, mountains and lakes, and a cold winter atmosphere. It's all well shot. The movie is worth a watch, but to me it could have used a bit more action and horror.

This was a real decent thriller. I watched two subtitle films today Julia's Eyes (was ok) and this one, which came together at the end really well. A good solid ghost story, that has right build to give the audience a reason to watch to the end. If you like subtitles films, and the language of Iceland, then I highly recommend this ghost story. You will not be disappointed .
