This romantic drama about a young couple living in a parallel present where the world's population faces a pandemic of rapid, unexplained early-onset dementia may not be the feel-good movie audiences are claiming for in 2021, but it's a beautiful love story with subtly textured performances by Cooke & O'Connell and a solid non-linear structure that explores human memory in clever, unpretentious ways.
