Everyone makes mistakes, but this movie asks if one bad night should ruin your entire life.
Colleen Hoover, the author of the book Reminders of Him, wrote this as more than just a sad romance. It makes us wonder if someone who did something really bad can ever truly be forgiven, or if one mistake ruins your life forever.
Kenna Rowan is finally free after spending five years in prison for a tragic car accident. She moves back to the town where it all happened with one goal: to see her four-year-old daughter, Diem, for the very first time.
Everyone in town still blames Kenna for the accident. The grandparents who are raising her daughter have blocked her from having any contact. Everywhere she goes, she is reminded of her past, and it feels like nobody is willing to give her a second chance.
The only person who treats Kenna like a human being is Ledger Ward, a local bar owner. The problem? Ledger was the best friend of the man Kenna lost in the accident. As they grow closer, they have to decide if their feelings are worth the pain it might cause everyone else.
Most people who watched the movie walked away with puffy eyes and a lot to think about. While some viewers found the story almost too sad to handle, many loved how it didn’t have a “perfect” hero or villain. Fans of the book were happy to see the emotional moments brought to life, and even people who hadn’t read it were moved by the powerful message that it’s never too late to try to fix your mistakes.
