Memory Box Reviews
Embraces with subtlety themes such as inclusion, tolerance and acceptance. [Full review in Spanish]
Artists do not need science to tell them what they feel in their bones, and film is a powerful tool to illustrate the ephemeral memories one stores in the body.
Credit the filmmakers for going to those darker places with the impossibility of living through so much death and destruction. And for deciding that letting that pain out and realizing they don't have to battle it alone can lead to happy endings too.
The result is a moving cinematic treatise on identity and its reconstruction, buoyed by fine performances all around, proving that out of pain can come a salve to heal it.
A genuinely poignant, profound and captivating emotional journey with terrific performances.
Memories, whether human or technological, have their limits. But in sharing them, as “Memory Box” movingly demonstrates, we can discover them anew.
Hadjithomas and Joreige are keenly aware of the power of music when it comes to evoking memory and shared experiences, most notably during a sequence involving Blondies One Way or Another that will leave you with a heartwarming nostalgic glow.
Memory Box is a lovely female-centred film about unpicking three generations of family secrets, grounded in the timely theme of how to make a new life in a foreign country.
Teenage girls are taken seriously in Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Joreige's lively coming-of-age drama.
Without an intimate knowledge of the Lebanese civil war's history, these points would pass a viewer by. Despite that caveat, Memory Box is an engaging and enjoyable drama.
The marriage of abstract existential themes, immersive, tactile images and dual timelines is always impressive but only occasionally moving.
There are so many textures at play here - a real sense of cinematic alchemy.
It's a film that deals in the ephemeral and contains the same compassion, curiosity and joyful invention found in Varda's body of work.
The film switches back and forth between time periods adroitly in a way that always moves the story forward, while the outstanding performances from the whole ensemble, especially the watchful Vauthier and the fierce Issa, anchor the film.
It's beautifully acted and vibrantly shot, but it's the way Memory Box is meticulously and lovingly pieced together which makes it so special.
Memory Box raises dilemmas that challenge us as viewers. [Full review in Spanish]
Memory Box is not only an endearing experience about friendship and forgiveness but serves as a poignant metaphor for a people that never loses hope.
Few Arab filmmakers are able to craft scenes of such pure emotive power - wistful images imbued with the pain of displacement and loss.
[The film's]magical-sounding title conceals the roteness of its false catharsis; the stills bond and break, but only superficially, as they have already been processed for the viewer.
Memory Box is at its strongest in its first half.
