Reminiscence (2021) - 3/5
This movie is a modern noir with impeccable aesthetics and a solid story. The telling of that story, however, gets a little convoluted and some of the rabbit trails seem more like a waste of time than interesting diversions. It’s a little too self-absorbed, a little too horny, a little too distracted, but the overall impact is still fun and it lands the ending which carries a lot of water for this film.
Closest comparison: It’s like the Maltese Falcon by way of Love, Death, and Robots.
Setting: Sci-Fi
Plot: Detective
Tone: Noir
