Honesty! Trust! Integrity!
Elena Jones is a new student at the prestigious Clark Academy. She becomes immediately attached to Rebecca Barton, the teacher of creative writing who admires young Elena's work. But almost instantly, it is clear that Elena is not fitting in with the school. As her roommate, Grace Walker, observes, Elena is not "right." The school's motto of "Honesty! Truth! Integrity!" will be severely tested with the challenges of a new sociopath in the classroom.
The film's title, "Remember Me, Mommy?", is a giveaway for the main action. Quickly, the film turns into a by-the-numbers suspense film about a child given up at birth, spending years in foster homes, and finally coming back for revenge directed at the poor mother who gave her up for adoption. The main problem is that there is little suspense.
The strength of the film was in the good character developments, including the kind teacher Rebecca, the shape-shifting Elena, the perceptive roommate Grace Walker, and the school bully and hazer, Janie Wade. Janie's character was especially interesting due to her major transformation that gradually appeared.
This was not a great film, but it was well-photographed with footage from a school that looked preppy. There was also a very sensitive performance on the part of the teacher and long-lost mother, Rebecca Barton, who genuinely cared about a young woman haunted by ghosts and demons.
A satisfying watch
"Remember Me, Mommy?" might not make my Lifetime movie Hall of Fame but that doesn't mean that I didn't enjoy it. I did enjoy watching this one. The story was good and moved in ways that I did not expect. The cast all did a nice job. "Remember Me, Mommy?" was a nice way to spend a Sunday night.
