Remember

"At once coolly analytical and humanistic, Canadian auteur Atom Egoyan’s masterful earlier films, such as Exotica and The Sweet Hereafter, made him one of the most critically-loved presences of the ‘90s festival circuit. However, the quality of output has, rather curiously, taken a turn for the tawdry of late, resulting in misfiring DTV thrillers like Where the Truth Lies and Chloe."

"Despite Christopher Plummer's poignant lead performance, Atom Egoyan fails to find form in this Nazi-tracking mystery."

"Egoyan works hard to steer the premise away from crassness – and in Plummer, he’s blessed with a lead actor who can express Zev’s interior struggle with delicacy and dignified understatement."

"Yes, this type of role has become a sort of must-have accessory in an older actor's kit bag, but Mr. Plummer is never less than convincing."

"The inept script... makes for a perfect bedfellow with Egoyan’s flat TV movie direction and an overwrought score that sounds like a drunk impression of Bernard Herrmann."

"A strong supporting cast also does good work, and the film -- as is the case of all Egoyan's films -- is made with smooth professionalism. It's a pity that it increasingly strays into the direction of almost laughable improbability."

"The performance by Plummer, now in his mid-80s, amounts to a masterclass on how to use one's actual physical limitations to advantage."

"A clever and admirable film."

"If you didn't know better, you might think it was a tasteless spoof."

"Plummer, half-a-century after outsmarting the Nazis in "The Sound of Music," manages to further hone his reliably persuasive presence."

"Continuing the sad slump in Atom Egoyan's career after last year's The Captive, this plodding new drama is perhaps a shade or two less risible."

"A marvellous film."
