Reminders of Him is an achingly beautiful, emotionally charged romantic drama, with great performances that sweep you up from the very first moment. Tender, heartfelt and deeply human, it’s a story that lingers long after the credits roll. It is based on the international bestselling book by Colleen Hoover whose previous bestselling book It Ends With Us was also made into a hugely successful film.
Blending romance and drama, Reminders of Him follows Kenna Rowan, a young mother played by Maika Monroe (It Follows), who returns to her hometown after serving time in prison for a tragic accident. Determined to reconnect with the daughter she’s never met, she faces hostility from the community and especially the child’s grandparents. Her path begins to shift when she forms a fragile connection with Ledger, played by Tyriq Withers (Atlanta), while Rudy Pankow (Outer Banks) appears in poignant flashbacks that deepen the emotional stakes.
Stylistically, the film leans into soft, naturalistic cinematography and intimate close-ups, capturing raw emotion with striking authenticity. Its themes of forgiveness, motherhood and second chances are handled with sensitivity, exploring how love can endure even the gravest mistakes. The film has been a box office success and has connected strongly with audiences, earning solid recommendation scores and praise for its heartfelt storytelling and powerful performances.
