Leave your thoughts about What Now? Remind Me.
| Film School RejectsMark JamesWhat Now? Remind Me is, despite its name, an extraordinarily lucid, moving portrait of illness, artistry, and, rarest of all, time. |
| IndieWireEric KohnWhat Now? Remind Me sketches out the tragedy of living a full life and being aware of it slipping away. |
| Laramie Movie ScopeRobert RotenImaginative video sequences, animation, thought-provoking observations on religion, philosophy, politics and the nature of existence, are among the scattered gems to be found in this long, sluggish, artsy film. |
| New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisGentle on the eyes but stirring to the mind, What Now? Remind Me is an extraordinary, almost indescribably personal reflection on life, love, suffering and impermanence. |

| Gay City NewsSteve Erickson... a game-changer of a queer documentary. |
| New York Magazine (Vulture)Bilge EbiriWhat Now? Remind Me is all over the place, but it never feels messy or lax. |
| User ReviewJohn CA triumph over illness, over resignation. |
