<em>'I Remember You'</em> failed to keep me locked in. It ends up being a fairly decent story, I just can't say that I had a positive time seeing it unfold. It isn't anything out and out bad, admittedly. I was into any scene with Freyr and Dagný, those two held together any interest that I did have. Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson and Sara Dögg Ásgeirsdóttir are, therefore, the ones who merit praise from this 2017 release, especially Jóhannesson. Alternatively, I found the parts with Garðar, Katrín and Líf to be less watchable; again not bad, especially as the actors are alright. Not far adrift from being something good. That it is not, though.
