Memories of Tomorrow is the first movie I've seen about the disease that is told from the sick person's point of view.

Watanabe brings ferocious commitment to the sort of role that many an American awards body has been known to champion.

Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune
Rotten

The script's subtler nuances are too often drowned out by awkward histrionics.

Dennis Lim, Los Angeles Times

This heartfelt tale of disintegration and acceptance, seasoned with family devotion, will both raise and soothe the anxieties of those of us who regularly ask ourselves why we came into the kitchen two minutes ago.

Ella Taylor, L.A. Weekly

Sensitively directed by Yukihiko Tsutsumi from a well-constructed script.
