    • Quotes

      Jane: Hey.

      Alan: [hands her a folder]

      Jane: [looking through the pages] Where did you get these?

      Alan: Somebody from the archives delivered them.

      Jane: [continues to look through the pages, getting upset] That's not possible... My foster parents would have told me.

      Alan: Jane. These files just... didn't appear out of the blue... You ordered them.

      Jane: When?

      Alan: You tell me.

      Jane: [through her teeth] I can't remember.

      Alan: You own that house.

      Jane: [Slams her hand on the table and shouts] NO!

      [takes a deep breath]

      Jane: I forget "little" things, like appointments, birthdays, pick-ups...

      [starts hyperventilating]

      Jane: Not...

      Alan: [squats down to face her] I'm sorry.

      [looks away]

      Alan: I shouldn't even be here; I should have picked her up.

      [when Jane doesn't answer]

      Alan: The trust fund has been paying the property tax. It's managed by a... Patrick Ryer? I think you have an uncle. That explains why you keep trying to photograph the place.

      Jane: [doesn't say anything, looks at Alan helplessly]

      Alan: Jane hey... Hey.

      [puts her hand on her cheek]

      Alan: We're gonna figure this out.

    Loved this beautiful psychological drama with a dash of horror

    Those who don't understand this genre have no business writing reviews for it. The story is beautifully crafted as a psychological revelation that presents itself to a young woman who has a traumatized childhood but does not remember it. Her mind helps heal itself by gifting her little pieces of repressed memories, one at a time. These pieces appear to us, and to her, in the form of tiny gift packages tied with a red ribbon. The people she lost, the same ones from her repressed memory present themselves to her as strangers and apparitions she chases to get to a complete recovery of her mind and memory. A literal translation of those memories would be ghosts but that depends on how you choose to see it. Right until the end it could very well just be a drama unfolding itself in her mind, right until her daughter seems to know things she has no business knowing about. That's when the ghosts become real. This movie has the perfect amount of spookiness and everything makes sense. By the end of the movie every bit falls together like a sweetly solved puzzle.
