Memory (dir. Michel Franco) x TIFF 2023.
[Jessica] Chastain's soulful performance against [Peter] Sarsgaard's affable demeanour makes Memory such a strong character piece. Its spareness is what cements the film as such a moving journey without any over-reliance on exposition. We witness how the pair come together, where their traumas came from, and how they find comfort in each other despite common hardships.
