Reminders of Him Review: This Colleen Hoover Adaptation Is a Total Nothingburger

It’s funny, the very romance that’s drawing audiences to the movie is also its biggest weakness. While Monroe and Withers have decent chemistry, it doesn’t really spark. This is largely due to a script that doesn’t quite serve them well. The story tries to juggle Kenna’s desire to reconnect with her five-year-old daughter, born during her time in prison, and a new romance, but it feels stretched thin. The film would have been stronger focusing on the complex relationship between Kenna and her daughter, exploring how far Kenna would go to connect with her and the grandparents’ reservations about letting her into Diem’s life. That’s where the real emotional core of the story lies, but the movie unfortunately prioritizes the romantic elements above all else.
