15 years after its initial release, I’m thrilled to share that the poignant drama “Remember Me,” penned by Will Fetters and skillfully directed by Allen Coulter, has found a new streaming home here in the UK! You can now watch it for free on Tubi. Let’s journey back into this captivating story together!

The film titled Remember Me, starring Chris Cooper and Lena Olin, was a financial triumph when it debuted, earning $56 million globally while only costing $16 million to produce. However, it received mixed reviews from critics; on Rotten Tomatoes, it holds a low approval rating of 26% based on 136 reviews.

A significant portion of criticism centered around the unexpected turn in the movie’s finale, a twist many found incongruous with the conventional themes typically seen in romantic dramas that preceded it. To avoid spoilers, those who wish not to know the ending should stop reading here, as we delve deeper into this topic…

As I sat there, wrapping my head around the heartwarming resolution of Tyler and Ally’s journey and their family ties, a shocking twist unfolded in the last scene – it was September 11, 2001, the very day of the 9/11 attacks. As a gamer, I couldn’t help but feel that this historical event had somehow been woven into our fictional world, creating a poignant and profound impact on my gaming experience.

Later on, Tyler can be found in his father’s workplace, situated within the North Tower of the World Trade Center. Tragically, he perished during the attacks. A recording of Tyler’s personal journal entries is played, and his character is laid to rest beside his deceased brother.

The plot twist drew significant negative feedback, with Rolling Stone labelling it as “extremely offensive.” AV Club also expressed disapproval, viewing the conclusion as “incredibly ill-conceived,” and numerous other critics referred to it as “manipulative.

Remember Me is now streaming on Tubi.
