However Good Reminders Of Him Could Be, Oscars History Isn’t On Maika Monroe’s Side

Hoover might be a best - selling author who ’s received acclamation for her literary work , butthe only movie adaptation of her leger give up so far , It Ends with Us , was a vital failure . It ’s likely due to the poor reviews andcast dramatic event which engulfedIt Ends with Usthat Hoover has study originative control over big - screen version of her subsequent novels , includingReminders of Him .

We ’d have to go back to the early to mid-2010s , when Jennifer Lawrence , Julianne Moore and Brie Larson all won the Best Actress Oscar , for the last time the winner in this family adjust characters from a play or love story novel .

In some ways , this latest work could be even darker than Justin Baldoni ’s moving picture starring Blake Lively .

Kenna Rowan is one heck of a part for Maika Monroeto pass her teeth into , but it ’s a use that is unconvincing to bring awards consideration at the Academy Awards .

In the end , it could well be for the better that Madison steered clear of this Colleen Hoover version , following her Oscar - winning performance inAnora .
