Memory, as a dramatic engine

Since its theatrical release, Reminiscence has generated divided opinions. Critics highlighted its narrative ambition and aesthetics, although they also compared it with other reference titles of the genre such as Blade Runner u Origen.

At the box office, the film had a discreet run, with a global gross of just over $16 million against a significantly higher budget. Even so, its time on platforms has allowed it to find a second life among fans of science fiction thrillers with overtones. noirespecially for Jackman’s restrained performance and the concept of memory as a dramatic engine.
