Sexy, arty, neither lightweight nor heavy

I found this film enjoyably lightweight, like the sensation of discovering romance, a flirtation with potentially philosophical overtones that are serious enough to be enchanting but without being distracting. Graham has short term memory loss (groan! Is this a rip-off of... Full review

Jean-Pierre Limosin shows he has an eye for the style he is trying to capture in "Novo". Not having seen anything directed by him before, we were sold in watching it because of the cast that was put together for the... Full review
A good film within a bad film.

A disturbing film, this, climaxing, as it does, with an intensely intimate reunion between a naked man and his young son, but in its confused structure it contains a poetically imagined visual exploration of the innocence of an idealised amnesiac. The... Full review

Jean Pierre Limosin has taken on a story interlacing memory, love, history, and passion that not only has pertinence in our galloping society of hasty encounters and transient relationships but also pleads a case for people with cognitive dysfunction. Unfortunately the... Full review

It's difficult to decide who or what is the target audience for this film. Jean-Pierre Limousin presumably had the chance to explore the problems of amnesia on a serious level and opted instead to use it as an excuse to make... Full review
How to be in love (or happy) when you constantly lose your memories?

a disconcerting production, full of charm for an art flick that tries to envision the relation between love (and lust) and memories. This is the strength of the film (a universal theme about which there is much to say) and its... Full review

Imagine Memento with more sex or 50 First Dates with fewer puke gags, and you've got Novo, another exploration of short-term memory loss. Here our amnesiac hero is Graham (Eduardo Noriega), a photocopy clerk whose mind is so sieve-like that... ... Full Article
