It is so sad to see that one negative and spiteful person with a grudge against the director is spreading negative comments, on multiple websites, about a film that is sweet, beautiful, and for a great cause. I’m Tate Dewey, the actor who plays Chris in the film Not To Forget. As I’m posting this, I’m attending the opening night of a film festival at the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, together with other cast members who were happy to join. Our director Valerio is about to be handed an Excellence Award, because he created a powerful tool to raise awareness about Alzheimer’s and to honor the caregivers. I’m proud of what he accomplished, because it is literally amazing. Not To Forget is a “different kind of Alzheimer’s film”, as Valerio tried to talk to a younger and wider audience, taking the perspective of a self-centered millennial who ends up rediscovering family values. From the beginning, he decided not to completely show how terrible the “plague of the XXI century” is, because his goal was not to make a documentary, but to focus on the arc of my character while raising awareness about an important health issue. Valerio gave life to an inspiring project that is meant to make a difference, but he first and foremost created a very personal film about loss, forgiving, and family. He told me that my character is his alter-ego, as they both share the same scar on their right arm and most likely inside. Not To Forget has already won over 40 festivals worldwide. Unfortunately, every time a professional journalist writes something nice about the film, the same person (whom we all know and disapprove of) writes nasty comments about the film or Valerio. The first comment on this website read “I caught a showing of this with my wife in Houston to kill some time. Absurdly corny ... god-awful direction and editing.” Too bad that Not To Forget never played in any theater in Houston! The comment was eventually removed, but this cannot be happening.

Before I started watching Not to Forget, I assumed I’d be in for a depressing movie that would have me reaching for at least three tissues. When I did start watching, I was pleasantly surprised that it started with a heist. This was entirely unexpected. In fact, Not to Forget is full of surprises—not the gimmicky, edge-of-your-seat kind, but they fit right in with the tone of this well-thought-out story about a family coming to grips with changes in their lives.

I liked this movie because of the tenderness and compassion shown in it. It portrays Alzheimer's for the horrible disease that it is, but it showed how by loving and caring for your loved ones with Alzheimer's that there can still be special memories created for everyone involved. I work as a facilitator for families with loved ones who have Alzheimer's. The caregivers go through so much as they watch their loved ones slowly disappear. Thank you for a beautifully written story and well done movie. It touched my heart.

I really enjoyed this cute movie. The topic is increasingly important in our communities and it’s treated in a delicate way. The cast of old glories is absolutely stunning. A few moment here and there a little soapy, but overall a movie that is worth watching

Alzheimer's Disease is much worse than the way it is portrayed in this film, which intends to be charming and sweet but doesn't really give a full idea of what Alzheimer's truly is. But I understand this is not a documentary after all.
