A California teen (Sam Dillon) copes with his dysfunctional family, slacker friends and a girl who doesn't know that he exists.

Despite clocking in at a scant 70 minutes, the troubled-youth drama "Memoria" manages to make a hauntingly poetic impression.

Memoria is a poignant and troubling film, but it rarely telegraphs its shots and treats its young subjects with a slightly removed concern.

B-

"Memoria" doesn't succeed in full, but it remains an intriguing addition to the "Palo Alto" extended universe, exploring Franco's fetish for miserable people with no-budget style and periodic emotional clarity.

A incredibly powerful work of art that leaves you shocked and reeling for answers.

I don't understand the 7 of 10 rating as of my watching this film. It starts seemingly stupid and continues being stupid. Quit watching after five minutes.

I'm loving James Franco at the minute and looking forward to the Disaster Artist, so am going through some of his recent back-catalog. This film won't live too long in the memory though, even though it held my attention throughout. I expected more, due to the Indie award nominations and good critic reviews.
