Remember Me

Tyler Hawkins is a young man carrying the weight of a family tragedy and his parents' bitter divorce, coping with anger and risky behavior instead of steady direction. When he meets Ally Craig, an outgoing woman who survived witnessing her mother's death, their chemistry offers both a welcome respite. The film follows the way their relationship grows through small, tender scenes and sharper confrontations as grief, guilt, and stubborn pride keep bubbling up. Tyler's fraught relationship with his father adds pressure, and the couple's attempts to trust one another meet setbacks that test how much change each person can accept. Subplots involving friends and rivalries add pressure, keeping the tone unsettled at times, without revealing where their choices ultimately lead.

Directed by Allen Coulter from a screenplay by Will Fetters, Remember Me opened in 2010 with Robert Pattinson and Emilie de Ravin, and a supporting cast including Pierce Brosnan, Lena Olin, and Chris Cooper, and was a mid-budget studio release.

Viewer ratings sit around 7.1/10, reflecting mixed reactions that praised performances while questioning some tonal shifts and melodramatic beats. Critics and audiences often singled out Pattinson and Emilie de Ravin for their chemistry and emotional work, even as they debated the film's balance between intimate drama and broader sentiment, too.

Coming during Robert Pattinson's rise to fame, the film drew attention from viewers curious to see him in a more adult role. Its emotional beats, family confrontations, and tonal choices inspired debate around how mainstream dramas handle sudden tragedy and grief, and brought more viewers to the supporting performances still.

Box office performance was modest, with steady but unspectacular returns. The movie's commercial life was helped by Pattinson's fanbase and summer release timing, though marketing and its adult themes limited mainstream blockbuster potential in many territories, and later on video.
