The Forgotten (2004)

Synopsis: A woman grieves over the loss of her son, but suddenly no one seems to acknowledge his previous existence.

Appraisal: Antiquated sci-fi drama, with the usual amount of loose ends. This poor film bears some thematic resemblance with Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004), Total Recall (1990), and L'année dernière à Marienbad (1961); also Mirage (1965), tangentially. P.S.: Theo Panayides's review points out another -- and closer -- thematic precursor of this film: The Lady Vanishes (1938).

Rating: 11
