The film hooks you right away with its premise. Christine wakes up every day with no memory of who she is, relying on notes and recordings to piece things together. The mystery deepens as she questions whether her husband is helping her or hiding something. It builds well, but the ending feels too neat. The villain is revealed and defeated, and Christine’s memory magically starts returning. It’s rushed and unrealistic for such a complex setup. A more effective ending might have kept Christine’s recovery uncertain, focusing instead on her struggle to reclaim her identity without completely resolving the mystery.
