Robert Pattinson and Emilie de Ravin star in the romantic drama Remember Me, which has received a very positive review in The Hollywood Reporter and a less enthusiastic one in Variety. Both reviewers mention that the film’s climax may leave some viewers wondering where all that came from — while others will be moved.
Directed by Allen Coulter and written by Will Fetters (with some rewriting by an uncredited Jenny Lumet — of the well-received Anne Hathaway drama Rachel Getting Married), Remember Me tells the story of Tyler (Pattinson), a rebellious young man who has a problematic relationship with his wealthy father (Pierce Brosnan). Life is difficult for Tyler, but he finds a ray of hope after meeting Ally (de Ravin), a free spirit whose father (Chris Cooper) doesn’t like Tyler.
The young couple fall in love, but must face all sorts of obstacles along the way. Secrets are revealed, class issues arise, and fate just seems to be working against them. The question is: Can their love be survive against some pretty tough odds?
Remember Me opens Friday, March 12. It is Robert Pattinson’s first vehicle following his success opposite Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner in the blockbuster The Twilight Saga: New Moon. Emilie de Ravin is best known for her role in the television series Lost.
