This review is brought to you by the Atom Egoyan Appreciation Society.

Atom Egoyan is an Armenian-Canadian filmmaker with an extensive filmography. His films are, in a word, brilliant. They are weird, challenging, original, moving, fantastic, and raw, yet very very polished. He has worked with actors like Julianne Moore, Ian Holm, Bob Hoskins, Kevin Bacon, Amanda Seyfried, and Colin Firth.

Here is a list of Atom Egoyan films I have seen:

Next of Kin (1984)
Family Viewing (1987)
Speaking Parts (1989)
The Adjuster (1991)
Calendar (1993)
Exotica (1994)
The Sweet Hereafter (1997)
Felicia's Journey (1999)
Where the Truth Lies (2005)
Chloe (2009)

...which represents maybe a third of the thirty or so features he has directed. If you're looking for a unique and interesting film experience, I'd recommend any of the above.

Which brings me to Egoyan's 2015 film "Remember."

Zev (the late Christopher Plummer) is a Holocaust survivor who lives in an assisted-living facility. His wife Rose has recently passed, but Zev is in the early stages of dementia and doesn't always remember this fact. His old friend Max (the late Martin Landau), also a Holocaust survivor, meticulously plans and sends Zev out of the facility on a mission of vengeance.

And that is the extent to which I will go into the plot of this film.

A couple of odd acting choices aside, this is every bit a quality Atom Egoyan film, despite working from a script he did not write for once. There aren't very many characters which is unusual for Egoyan, nor do I recall him playing much with the "road movie" genre. So it's somewhat-new territory but he handles it well. The film is engaging throughout and the story stands up to scrutiny given the factors involved.

(Am I being vague? You'll just have to accept that I don't want to say much about this one, aside from...yeah, it's good!)

Grade: B+
