Forget Me Not is a 2011 British romance drama directed by Alexander Holt and Lance Roehrig.
An overnight encounter between a lowly musician and the vivacious bartender who works at the joint he has performed evolves into a rollicking night of humour, unmistaken chemistry and eventual confession. As the two traverse the streets of London, accompanied by a winning soundtrack, they come across eccentric characters, crash a party and share their intimate views on life. But how long can Will keep the source of his despair from Eve? Forget Me Not journeys deep into the human heart with a light touch and an enchanting sense of time and place for a finale that for romantics will prove unforgettable.

Reviews
“A suicidal musician Will (Menzies) rescues barmaid Eve (O'Reilly) from a drunken attack from a punter at closing time and, as the night progresses, they wander around London, forging a relationship while taking care not to ask if the other has seen Richard Linklater's Before Sunrise. Made quickly, with extremely limited resources, the result is quite an achievement. London looks good, as do the leads who whip up some credible chemistry, and there's even a decent message to impart. Access to a little more time and money would have solved one or two problems, but there's a rough-hewn charm and clumsiness here that's invigorating.” The Guardian UK
““Love can happen in 24 hours,” claims this low-budget British romantic drama… wait, come back! It’s actually pretty good…It’s Before Sunset set on the Tube and the London eye. It’s also something more, a tender, touching tale of the frailty of our lives. Modest stuff and occasionally gooey, but the performances disarm and the lensing makes the capital seem impossibly magical.” Total Film
