Release

I Remember You premiered at the Downtown Film Festival in Los Angeles, California, on July 22, 2015.[2] It was theatrically released on November 13, 2015.[3]

Reception

Michael Nordine of The Village Voice wrote that Sparrow "zigs where you expect her to zag (not always in the best of ways)", but the film's predictable ending is still satisfying.[3] Martin Tsai of the Los Angeles Times wrote that it is difficult to accept that Butler's character, a scientist, would accept the film's metaphysical themes. Tsai states that the film almost fails the Bechdel test.[4]
