Murdered Memory is a gripping Dutch thriller from 2015, directed by Boris Paval Conen and starring Thekla Reuten, Daan Schuurmans, and Marie-Mae van Zuilen. The film follows the story of a psychiatrist named Lizzy (played by Thekla Reuten) who becomes involved in a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse with a patient named Vivian (Marie-Mae van Zuilen), who has been accused of murdering her own father.

The film opens with Lizzy, a successful psychiatrist, being called by the police to help evaluate Vivian's mental state. Vivian has been accused of murdering her father, a prominent businessman, and the police believe that she may be mentally ill. Lizzy is hesitant to take on the case, as she has been struggling with her own demons, but ultimately agrees to help.

As Lizzy begins to work with Vivian, she quickly realizes that things are not as they seem. Vivian is intelligent, manipulative, and seems to be playing a dangerous game with Lizzy. Despite her initial reservations, Lizzy becomes more and more intrigued by Vivian's case, and starts to dig deeper into her patient's life.

As Lizzy slowly uncovers the truth about Vivian's past, she becomes entangled in a web of deceit and danger. Her own life is put at risk as she gets closer to uncovering the truth about Vivian's father's murder. Throughout the film, Lizzy finds herself questioning her own sanity, as Vivian's mind games become more and more twisted.

Thekla Reuten's performance as Lizzy is captivating, and she brings a depth and complexity to the character that makes her both relatable and intriguing. Daan Schuurmans' performance as the lead police detective is also noteworthy, as he brings a sense of gravitas and authority to the role.

The film's pacing is spot-on, with the tension building steadily throughout the movie. The cinematography is moody and atmospheric, with a strong emphasis on shadows and light. The score, composed by Helge Slikker, is haunting and adds to the film's atmosphere.

One of the strongest aspects of Murdered Memory is its exploration of mental illness and the way that it can be used as a tool for manipulation. The film raises important questions about the way that we treat mental health, and the potential dangers of allowing individuals with mental health issues to manipulate those around them.

Overall, Murdered Memory is a gripping thriller that will keep audiences guessing until the very end. Its strong performances, atmospheric visuals, and thought-provoking themes make it a must-watch for fans of the genre.
