The literary phenomenon from #1 New York Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover becomes a transformative feature film about motherhood, forgiveness and the power of love to overcome even the worst mistake. After a perfect outing with her boyfriend, Kenna (Maika Monroe; The Hand that Rocks the Cradle, Longlegs) makes an unbearable mistake that sends her to prison. Seven years later, Kenna returns to her hometown in Wyoming, hoping to rebuild her life and earn the chance to reunite with her young daughter, Diem, whom she has never known. When Diem's custodial grandparents adamantly refuse Kenna's attempts to see her daughter, Kenna discovers unexpected compassion, and then something truer and deeper, with former NFL player and local bar owner Ledger (Tyriq Withers; HIM, I Know What You Did Last Summer). As their secret romance develops, so do the dangers for both of them, leading Kenna toward heartbreak and, ultimately, the hope for a second chance.

Critics Consensus

Adapted with admirable restraint and sensitive performances, Reminders of Him doesn't stir the passions enough to qualify as quality melodrama but does contain a respectable amount of grace notes.

Audience Says

A perfectly cast adaptation to Colleen Hoover’s bestselling romance novel, Reminders of Him calls for a date -- or a box of tissues.

It's a corny TV movie made with so much sincerity and conviction by all involved that it becomes watchable, if rarely "good" by any stretch.

It’s easy on the eye, and indeed the brain, but this is nowhere near as sharply written or plotted as it should be to bring these characters to life.

While the melodrama has only just been taken off life support, “Reminders of Him” is a start. It’s the promise of something more. Something better. Something deserving of a memorable title.

This is a movie that looks great. Sadly, predictably, the story proves to be as overly neat as the movie’s Hollywood-beautiful poverty.

Reminders of Him is an occasionally affecting but uneven romance that finds its strongest emotional footing in its final stretch.

A feel good movie like something on the Hallmark Channel, but with some Lifetime Channel tragedy and struggles. My wife and I enjoyed it because they don't seem make many movies like this for the big screen.
