Reminders of Him

Synopsis

The literary phenomenon from #1 New York Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover becomes a transformative feature film about motherhood, forgiveness and the power of love to overcome even the worst mistake. After a perfect outing with her boyfriend, Kenna (Maika Monroe; The Hand that Rocks the Cradle, Longlegs) makes an unbearable mistake that sends her to prison. Seven years later, Kenna returns to her hometown in Wyoming, hoping to rebuild her life and earn the chance to reunite with her young daughter, Diem, whom she has never known. When Diem's custodial grandparents adamantly refuse Kenna's attempts to see her daughter, Kenna discovers unexpected compassion, and then something truer and deeper, with former NFL player and local bar owner Ledger (Tyriq Withers; HIM, I Know What You Did Last Summer). As their secret romance develops, so do the dangers for both of them, leading Kenna toward heartbreak and, ultimately, the hope for a second chance. Reminders of Him expands on that premise with a broader sense of scale and atmosphere, framing its story through the expectations of a romance, drama picture while leaving room for character pressure, reversals, and escalation. The film is associated with Vanessa Caswill, produced by Colleen Hoover, Lauren Levine, Gina Matthews, and shaped for audiences in English. With a release noted as 2026 and a runtime of 1h 54m, it appears designed to balance momentum with enough breathing room for the central conflict to build in stages rather than relying on a single hook. Little Engine, Heartbones Entertainment and Universal Pictures position the project as a title meant to stand out through mood, performance, and genre identity, while the listed rating of PG-13 (Drug Content|Brief Partial Nudity|Sexual Content|Some Violent Content|Strong Language) suggests the level of intensity or accessibility being targeted. Whether the story leans toward spectacle, suspense, emotion, or a mix of all three, the available information points to a film focused on sustained engagement: establishing stakes clearly, deepening tension as new complications emerge, and driving toward a payoff that matches the promise of the setup. Taken together, the synopsis and production details suggest a movie intended to deliver more than a simple premise. Reminders of Him aims to create an experience in which tone, pacing, and character perspective matter as much as plot mechanics, allowing viewers to settle into its world before the pressure tightens. Even where some official information remains limited, the project reads as a deliberate genre piece with enough identity to invite curiosity, setting up a film that could appeal both to casual viewers and to audiences already drawn to this kind of story.
