There is some evidence to suggest it is effective in improving mood in older people without dementia. Reminiscence has imagination to spare, but it doesn’t deliver the precious memories it promises. Reminiscence therapy is one of the most popular psychosocial interventions in dementia care, and is highly rated by staff and participants. ![]() And while the character of Mae eventually subverts some well-worn clichés, this comes too late. Unfortunately, no-one listens, and the story becomes convoluted and unsatisfying. Her character Watts tries to warn Nick that his mission is unwise, if not slightly pathetic. Reminiscence has a sleek, moody look and a big brooding score by frequent Westworld composer Ramin Djawadi to propel the story in the absence of plot momentum. Only Newton really brings it to life, as excellent here as she was in Westworld. Reminisce co-founders Lee Butler and Steve Cocky can’t wait to get back to St Helens with Lee saying We are so grateful that we are back in Sherdley Park for the 8th Reminisce Festival and we. And with little humour to take the edge off, the dialogue is too mannered even for a potboiler. One key problem is the voiceover: Jackman is saddled with an exposition-heavy narration that would have Ridley Scott baying for a director’s cut. When she disappears, Nick plunders more minds in an effort to find her, and figure out her mysteries.Īs you can probably tell, Reminiscence is a complicated film, and the reasons it doesn’t come together are as numerous as its ideas. Nick can’t take his eyes off her – and her memories prove even more alluring. Like many of their clients, Nick and Watts are clinging onto the past: largely analogue in a digital age, they’re housed in a big, old-fashioned building, and their contraptions have a steampunk vibe.Įnter Jackman’s The Greatest Showman co star Rebecca Ferguson as Mae, who sashays into the building like a true femme fatale. Clients enter their facility and are submerged in a machine that projects key memories back to them – and onto the wall, helpfully for us. Nick and his business partner Watts (Thandiwe Newton) can help them do exactly that. Jackman’s Nick is a war veteran who’s living in a dystopian, flooded Miami, where people are desperate to remember happier times (sound familiar?). Reminiscence begins as an intriguing futuristic noir. Hugh Jackman plays Nick Bannister, a private investigator who reconnects clients with lost memories through an immersion tank hooked up to computer gadgetry that.
