Robert Pattinson’s Most Polarizing Film Just Went Free to Stream

Heads up: one of Robert Pattinson's most divisive early movies just dropped online for free. Yes, the one with the ending people still argue about.

'Remember Me' is free to watch right now

Lionsgate Movies quietly uploaded the full 2010 drama 'Remember Me' to its official YouTube channel, so you can stream the entire thing there without paying a cent.

The movie (and why people still talk about it)

On the surface, 'Remember Me' plays like a straightforward romantic drama. Pattinson stars as Tyler, a young guy wrestling with family trauma after his brother's death. Emilie de Ravin plays Ally, who is determined to squeeze the most out of life after witnessing her mother's murder as a kid. They meet, they connect, and the film tracks their messy, tender, very 20-something relationship.

Then the final minutes arrive, and the movie drops a reveal that set off a firestorm back in 2010: the date flips to September 11, 2001, and Pattinson's character is sitting in an office in the North Tower of the World Trade Center. The last-second pivot to real-world tragedy was blasted by plenty of critics and defended by some viewers, which is why the film still gets brought up whenever people debate shock-value endings.

Where Pattinson is now

If you want the current Pattinson drama rather than the time-capsule one, he's co-starring with Jennifer Lawrence in 'Die My Love,' directed by Lynne Ramsay and adapted from Ariana Harwicz's 2012 novel. It's in U.S. theaters now. The setup: a couple, Grace and Jackson, leave New York for a house they've inherited in the country. With a newborn and isolation closing in, Grace searches for who she is, starts to fray, and then finds a fierce, imaginative version of herself rather than just breaking down.

If you've never seen 'Remember Me' or you want to revisit the ending that launched a thousand think pieces, it's now an easy click away.
