BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Borserie it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Prismark10 Forget Me Not is a low budget independent romantic drama with an edge with a lot of walking and talking plus a picturesque setting in London.Tobias Menzies is Will and Genevieve O'Reilly as Eve who give understated performances. At first I was convinced that it was Menzies who was also singing the songs but most of them were sung by the writer of the film, Mark Underwood.Will is a singer in a club who meets Eve, a barmaid as he comes to her rescue as she is being hassled by a drunk. They accompany each other as they walk through London and fall for each other. They meet up again the next day as Eve goes to see her grandmother in a home.However the title of the film is no accident. Will in the last act mentions his troubled past and even troubling future. Until he met Eve he saw no purpose in his life and the viewer will feel an emotional impact with his revelation.The film is enhanced with the location shooting in London and it is a good starring role for Tobias Menzies who seems to have carved a niche as the guy who always appears in spy dramas. The actors have a good chemistry with each other, it is a little rough and ready as a low budget film that presumably was filmed quickly, it therefore feels flat in places and even a bit pedestrian.

Jojo Ma Categorising the film as a romance may have done it a disservice. Yes, it's a love story but it's also about how we create a place for ourselves in this life through the stories we tell and our relationships with other people. Will is utterly decent, Eve is free-spirited and perhaps a little rootless but they're both in the process of changing their view of themselves and how they present themselves to others.As a viewer, you always know more about Will than Eve does which develops a certain investment in the story. There are clues along the way to the secret we already know - it's easy to see how she misses them and the fact that she does means we develop an empathy for her simple optimism. There are also clues, right from the start, to the secret we don't know. Knowing what we know from the outset, it's easier for us to spot those clues and add them up than it is for Eve so the revelation is perhaps less shocking for us than for her; for us it perhaps feels more like an inevitability. It's a clever device that tends to pull viewers in rather than feeling overly manipulative.Tobias Menzies as Will and Genevieve O'Reilly as Eve both give wonderfully natural and believable performances, making it easy to just lose yourself in the world of the film. Conversations ebb and flow, some things are unsaid, some things are never finished, just as they are in real life (what's the kicker in Will's most embarrassing story? We'll never know!). The London locations give it a "bigger" feel than many low-budget films.It may be a romance, it may even be a weepy but I think it goes beyond that with a message that is ultimately positive and optimistic - don't be afraid to care and don't be afraid to let others care for you.

lexmas I loved this movie. Poster of the movie make it look like some kind of a generic indie romantic comedy but it couldn't be more wrong. It was such a pleasant surprise in terms of pretty much everything.I don't want to give stuff/spoiler away because there are some elements that's only reveled at the end that changes the entire perspective of the story so I'll just say it is more of a character driven story about the hardships of life than a typical "romantic" movie. It reminded me a of a movie called "Once" that I really liked as well. The actors-although unknown- did an amazing job! It had great music, and narrative and so much "heart "than I expected. It is definitely a great movie to check out.

megangray Not a movie but life. Amazingly simple and deep!Forget Me Not works principally for three reasons – stunning visuals, realistic acting and an immense script that builds the characters through their thoughts and feelings and thus allows us to get to know them as we do the people in real life. This allows the characters to be free, and it's easy to believe that these are real people and not just actors working from a script. This also allows us to feel for the characters for who they are, and not merely because they're the protagonists. This kind of realism is hard to capture as, at the end of the day, we as the audience know that they're watching a film and not observing real life; but the dialog is amazing, the acting is spot-on; this is a great film. It has been compared to Before Sunrise/Sunset but it has another level beyond those films which really allows it to stand out. I did see a boom in shot at one point, but the relative low budget does little to mar enjoyment.
