Reviews

Sofia Glasl from Filmdienst writes that Jorge Garcia plays the taciturn giant child Memo with such sensitive grace that even in passages of somewhat stereotyped melodrama, the personal story of his story always shines through. In Memo, Garcia finds a congenial role for the hunk Hurley, who he played in Lost , and who often sat with headphones on and away from the action, trying to make the most of a superhuman catastrophe. Garcia subtly increase Memo's facial expressions and gestures from sad, brooding scurrying to self-confident striding and calmly show his range of acting.
