As of April 14th the new Colleen Hover movie ¨Reminders of Him¨ is available to rent or buy on Amazon Prime! This new movie delivers an emotional and reflective story that explores guilt, forgiveness, and a very complicated path towards redemption

Junior Brooke Hisey states, ¨I absolutely loved this movie, it really showed that people can grow, make better choices, and still deserve a second chance after messing up.¨

This new movie takes on a third person perspective as it follows the main character Kenna Rowan, on her journey as a young mom who was recently released from prison and returns to her hometown hoping to rebuild her life and reconnect with her daughter. What unfolds is a deeply moving narrative that resonates with audiences long after the credits roll.

The film stays largely faithful to its source material, capturing the raw emotion and vulnerability that made the novel so popular. Kenna is portrayed as a complex character who is flawed yet sympathetic, and her past experiences continue to shape her present.

Hisey states, ¨She’s not perfect, and that’s exactly why she’s so loveable.¨

As she navigates judgement from those around her, the audience is invited to consider themes of accountability and second chances. The third person storytelling allows viewers to observe not only Kenna’s struggles but also the perspective of those impacted by her actions, which creates a well rounded and emotionally layered experience.

Visually, the film uses muted tones and soft lighting to reflect the somber mood of the story. The filmmaking emphasis quiet, intimate moments rather than dramatic sight, which works effectively on pervading the films focus on internal conflict.

Scenes between Kenna and Ledger War, a key figure in her journey, are especially powerful. Their relationship develops slowly, grounded in trust and unspoken understanding, making their interactions feel genuine rather than rushed.

Hisey states, ¨I love Kenna and Ledger´s relationship, because they don’t rush and it isn’t perfect, but it also shows how love can come at unexpected times.¨

However the film is not without its flaws. At times the pacing feels uneven, particular in the middle where certain scenes linger longer than necessary. Additionally, some viewers may find the story predictable, especially if they are familiar with the novel. Despite this the film’s emotional authenticity largely compensates for its lack of surprise.

¨Reminders of Him¨ succeeds as a heartfelt adaptation that remains true to its themes of forgiveness and healing. It offers a thoughtful exploration of how people confront their past and seek redemption in a world that is not always willing to grant.

While it may not appeal to those looking for a fast paced action or dramatic twist, it is a must watch for those seeking a meaningful story.
