Colleen Hoover’s ‘Reminders of Him’ Opens in Theaters to Warm Early Reviews

Early notices highlight sincere performances with steady direction despite a familiar, formula-driven story.

Overview

  • The romantic drama, directed by Vanessa Caswill, adapts Hoover’s novel from a screenplay by Lauren Levine and Colleen Hoover.
  • Maika Monroe leads the cast alongside Bradley Whitford, Tyriq Withers and Lauren Graham, with themes centered on redemption, grief and family conflict.
  • The film opened in cinemas on March 12, with reviews and promotional interviews rolling out internationally.
  • Critics describe the plotting as schematic or obvious, yet praise the cast’s honest work—especially Monroe, Graham and Whitford—while calling Caswill’s direction effective if not original.
  • The release runs 114 minutes, carries a 13-and-over rating with reservations, is distributed by UIP, and reinforces the current wave of Hoover-branded romantic dramas.
