- StairwaytothestarsAugust 3, 2025A wild ride of disjointed memory.
- abxdyyJuly 21, 2025have I rated this before?
- Andrew CloutJuly 4, 2025Brilliant….another rewatch and it’s still current.
- Movies are good22June 9, 2025"Now, where was I…?" This is just one hell of a fuckin’ tail of a man who's just getting royally fucked over by everything around him
- Tiago NazarethApril 13, 2025This unique and well-crafted tale is a top-notch thriller packed with suspense, and excellent characterization. The genius thing about this film is that it starts at the end and goes back to the beginning. This style of story-telling means the viewer has to use his or her brain for a change. There are only a few movies like this one, the kind of movies that makes you pay attention to every minute of it. Obviously, that doesn't work all the time, but this case is the exception. The way that Christopher Nolan puts this movie in a jumbled order that you don't quite realize until halfway through is genius. This is a highly intelligent and original brain teaser that will have you guessing from beginning to end, and even afterwards. It's brilliant story telling. You might get frustrated because you don't know what's going on. That's normal. In fact, that's the whole idea. If you're looking for something intense, suspenseful, and different than your usual effects-packed thriller, then this is a must-see movie. A rare film that shouldn't be missed.
- John HickeyMarch 21, 2025I remember seeing Memento in the theater when originally released and the moment I realized what was going on. Brilliant!
- diego.574March 1, 2025A little mess trying to understand it, but it was great
- Rowan KrzysiakFebruary 12, 2025It's all a bit clever in't it.... I found it a little bit irritating with a pay off that's not worth the frustration to get there. The overall concept is fine but if I'm harsh, some good editing is covering a bad movie.
