Faded Memories (2008)

Overrated

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

After seeing this movie, you can't imagine it was written by a 14 year old teenager, who is also the main actress and the director...(she was 16 when she did the movie)There is such a maturity in the writing, such a poetry in the words.The pictures, lightning, the music and the actors are consistent and depicts with a rare subtlety what true love is seen though the eyes of the 3 women in this movie. It is all about love, love between a mom and his son, between a son and his dad, a daughter and her mom, a niece and her taunt... and of course between two teenagers.Not only this movie is good, emotional, weird, genuine, but it also have a real unique ambiance and personality.It is attaching as are the characters. Nothing is scripted and predictable, this movie avoid the clichés of this genre.Anne Sophie Dutoit is a genius.

I always like to discover new movies, with Faded Memories, I was amazed! The movie contains everything to make it a great story: love, fight for values, and a surprising end.For all those who believe it is important to stand for what you believe and who you love, Faded Memories is a movie you must see. Not only the drama or romance lovers will like this movie. People from any type of group, who might feel unaccepted or different will relate to the story of Faded Memories.Since I read that Anne-Sophie Dutoit was 14 when she wrote the movie and 16 when she directed it, I just think it would be worth one more star! I suggest you check out the DVD, it will be out soon! Bravo!

now I'm not a cinematographer, but those air shots on the beach side was just perfect, but I'm a director my self! but I've talked to "Anne-Sophie" my self as a friend, and i told her that her film was & is a labyrinth of a movie. no joke here. Anne had a dream and went out into the real world and she believed in her self, grabbed a crew of people and some very very talented actors and made a film that is Oscar worthy, 100% no joke, is. i hope she makes another one thats even better. the shots of where Anne and Brock were climbing the tree where cool tho. Anne-Sophie is one of the most unique directors of our time.Anne-Sophie Dutoit rocks my world, huge fan of her work.

I didn't expect this... this movie is brilliant. I was at that Awards Screening at Raleigh Studios in Hollywood the other day and there was a standing ovation from these industry pros. I also attended the Q&A at the Encino theater this weekend and people had tears in their eyes at the end. I love what you have accomplished at your age and the humanity of your message and the character growth of Cassandra, the protagonist The unconventional structure of this movie is really unique for a teen movie and kept my interest throughout. I think Faded Memories can become a sleeper hit and I hope you'll get wide distribution so everyone can enjoy this very special and touching movie you have created.
