    "Memory" is an ensemble work that explores the lives of three sons as they host a wake for their father. "Memory" is alternately hysterical and heartbreaking, as the audience watches these men make life-altering decisions under the worst possible circumstances. Suppressing their feelings of inadequacy and emotional abandonment, they show no grief at the loss of their father, but instead turn on themselves, openly acknowledging their inability to have healthy relationships. The audience experiences the claustrophobic feelings of having one something too many and staying up far too late, becoming a prisoner on one's own home waiting for people to realize it's time to go home.. After the party is over, the hosts are left alone to clean up various messes, mostly those they themselves have created.

    Saw this film at a screening in SF... it was touring the country in some independent film screening program... I always am reluctant going to these things, but this made it worthwhile. It's not the perfect film of course, and it started a bit slow, but by minute 15 I was rolling and so was the rest of the theater. It's raw indie humor... Woody Allen-ish, but more harsh. Great actors, I love Judy Greer and Jeremy Sisto and they were both great. If you actually watch the movie, there is no way you won't be rolling with laughter by the end. It's done really well and the writing is great.

    With 'In Memory of My Father', relatively new auteur Christopher Jaymes has created the perfect depiction of loss, depression, selfishness, love, and jealousy as applied to one family. The aesthetic style of 'In Memory¦' evokes a slight documentary feel, much like 'The Office' and 'Arrested Development'. Characters address the cameras, but as the story progresses, we leave the device behind and focus on the drama, comedy, and the bitingly funny stirring of the soul that develops. Witty, poignant, brilliant, filled with squeamishly uncomfortable moments and mouth-agape situations, 'In Memoryæ' is most honest movie to come along this year, and I only hope Jaymes is able to continue making films of this caliber.
