Karyne Lemieux coolly and subtly portrays the mysterious investigator Sylvie and Dusan Dukic is excellent in the role of Brighton. Turning pre-conceived notions of gender, trauma, and identity on their heads, Amnésie allows an audience to consider these notions in the context of one of the strangest Canadian news stories of the past decade. The subtle cinematography and well-paced scenes picture a Montreal both inviting and alienating, well-reflecting Brighton’s own states."
