Based on Jordan Harrison's play. With Lois Smith playing Marjorie, also her role in the play. Smith had played Doctor Hineman in Minority Report... she helped point Anderton in the right direction; her character had a very cerebral talk on life and survival in that one. Jon Hamm is a younger version of her husband Walter; turns out he's a hologram. Lots of repetition, as the family members interact with each other, the living and the holograms. This one probably isn't for everyone... you have to be forgiving of the timeline, and sometimes it takes a while to figure our what's going on. Memory. Tricks of the mind. Geena Davis is Tess, Marjorie's daughter. At one point, Tess says in time, our memories get fuzzier and fuzzier, since we remember the memory, not the actual event. I guess. I like where it's going, but it's a bit too ethereal and confusing. I felt out of the loop for most of the film. Directed by Michael Almereyda.
