Critic Reviews

The Icelandic director Oskar Thor Axelsson is clearly fluent in horror conventions. But he has commendable restraint, and his latest film, I Remember You, transcends genre pyrotechnics even as it incorporates elements of Nordic noir.

It’s entertaining enough, but certainly didn’t have me reaching for a jumper.

Axelsson relies too much on picturesque scenery and subtle dramatic performances to engage the audience whenever not much is happening.
