Memory is a remarkably humane film that avoids any obvious missteps that would see it collapse into movie-of-the-week social issue melodrama terrain

Chastain and Sarsgaard are a class act — their touching, tactile chemistry is the film’s triumph.

Insinuating and bravely acted, Memory is plotted like a play: there are shades of Florian Zeller’s The Father, albeit with the dementia theme as only one side of the coin here.

Anchored by a fantastic cast, ‘Memory’ is a cinematic chamber piece that leaves one both haunted and moved.
