Dennis Harvey in Variety found the film a pleasant if slender affair reminiscent of Before Sunrise, with a little Once tossed in, that moves gracefully toward a conclusion that will trigger tears from some viewers, though others may find it a bit too heavy a tragic load for the film to bear. Tom Huddleston in Time Out, wrote that A frequent criticism of ultralowbudget independent movies is that they try to do too much. Forget Me Not may even be guilty of doing too little but what it does attempt, it largely pulls off and concluded that ambitious it aint, but Forget Me Not is a modest, memorable and rather moving slice of DIY cinema. Patrick Smith in The Daily Telegraph compared the film to Richard Linklaters Before Sunrise and Before Sunset, but found that although it isnt quite as accomplished, Menzies and OReilly have enough chemistry for the climax to be surprisingly poignant. Roger Ebert concluded that the film resembles Linklaters films, but moves along too deliberately, and although the ending conceals an emotional impact, sad and carefully orchestrated, but the film isnt very compelling.The film won Best UK Film and Best Editing at the 2010 London Independent Film Festival and the Golden Ace at the Las Vegas Film Festival. ........
