Ambitious it ain't, but Forget Me Not is a modest, memorable and rather moving slice of DIY cinema.

Overview
The film follows Will Fletcher, a musician, and Eve Fisher, who works in a pub where he is performing, during one night in London. After Will has saved Eve from a drunken customer at closing time, they stay up all night together, meandering through the streets of London and forging a relationship. Next morning, Eve takes him to see her Alzheimer's-suffering grandmother. The film is often compared to Richard Linklater's films "Before Sunrise" and "Before Sunset", as the style is very similar.

The ending of "Forget Me Not" conceals an emotional impact, sad and carefully orchestrated, but the film isn't very compelling.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

A pleasant if slender affair.
Dennis Harvey, Variety

A surprisingly affecting experience.
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times

Menzies and O'Reilly crackle when the script gets out of their way, and a bad imitation of Before Sunrise is better than most of what passes for a romance film these days.
