Gerardo Chvarry T @Cinestrenos 11h *Memento* is a genuine audiovisual puzzle and one of the earliest showcases of the filmmaking style that would make Christopher Nolan one of the most recognizable directors of the last few decades. Told backwards, the film puts us in the same position as Leonard, brilliantly played by Guy Pearce, as he tries to reconstruct his own story through notes, photographs, and tattoos. The combination of color and monochromatic sequences strengthens the structure, while the editing becomes the true engine of the film. It can feel somewhat slow at times, but its unusual narrative is exactly what gives the movie its weight. It isn't my favorite Nolan film, but it is undoubtedly one of his best and an essential watch for any film lover. See more Isiah P @oOstutterOo 3d Incredible movie right here. Complex plot with almost every question answered but still leaves you with that sense of uncertainty. In the end the protagonist has to decide his own truth and you have to do it right along with him. The film is directed in a way that reflects the main characters own perception. Things flash forward and back and it’s hard to make sense of anything. But by bit you start to understand that you will never know all the answers. One of Nolan’s finest. I will almost certainly watch this one again someday. See more Tyson D @Spudsprout 5d (Overall Rating: 3.96/5) (Very Good) --- (Cinematography/Atmosphere: 4.25/5) Transitions, subtle frames, the gradients for the different time frames, all come together in a really cool way. --- (Storyline/Plot: 3.75/5) How the story was told was really cool. The story itself though didn't give me the answers I think I wanted. But maybe that's just how it is. --- (Acting: 4/5) The acting was great, Guy Pearce was fantastic. --- (Character Quality: 3.5/5) The way the story is told you really never get a sense of who anyone really is, again, maybe thats just how it is. --- (Entertainment Value: 4.5/5) Not a lot of action but so many pieced together fleeting moments makes for a fun ride. --- (Expectations vs. Reality: 3.75/5) I feel like I have to re watch it not because I want to, but because I must. Its also a film I feel like I might have to re-rate after a second or even third viewing.

It’s one of those movies where you have to really focus so you don’t get lost with the time lapse. I give this movie a 9.4/10, it’s one of Nolan’s most underrated movies but a true masterpiece. See more Paul S @PManRager Aug 25 This is Christopher Nolan at his finest. This is one of the most surreal mental journeys I have ever gone on while watching a movie. I didn't know what to think, I didn't know who to trust, half the time I didn't know what was happening, and I loved every minute of it. Nolan is truly a master of mind-bending storytelling, cementing him as one of the greatest directors of our time. I definitely recommend this for thriller, mystery, and drama fans!
