Vanessa Caswill’s “Reminders of Him” is the third movie based on a Colleen Hoover novel in just three years, and the first that Hoover herself co-wrote the screenplay for, alongside Lauren Levine. Similar to the previous adaptations, “It Ends With Us” and “Regretting You” (which dealt with domestic abuse and adultery, respectively), the main character faces significant hardship before finding love. This film adds another layer of difficulty: the protagonist is an ex-convict who spent six years in prison after accidentally killing her boyfriend in a drunk driving incident.
