US EditionReview: Great Ending Saves ‘Reminders of Him’
- On Friday, Universal Pictures releases 'Reminders of Him', a cinematic adaptation of Colleen Hoover's 2022 novel starring Maika Monroe as Kenna Rowan, a woman returning to her Wyoming hometown.
- After serving seven years in prison for the accidental death of her boyfriend Scotty, Kenna returned to Laramie hoping to reconnect with her 5-year-old daughter Diem, whom she gave birth to while incarcerated.
- Scotty's parents, Grace and Patrick, blame Kenna for their son's death and refuse her access to Diem, while Ledger Ward, Scotty's best friend, forms an unexpected bond with Kenna as they both navigate their complicated relationships to the child.
- Critics praise Monroe, Tyriq Withers, Lauren Graham, and Bradley Whitford for delivering emotionally authentic performances that anchor the melodramatic narrative with genuine depth and nuance.
- While 'Reminders of Him' is a well-crafted, well-acted Hoover adaptation, reviewers note the film relies heavily on melodramatic manipulation and contrived plot elements that veer into territory some describe as cringey.
