Rating: Null/10 (1 October 2011)

Leonard's last memory is the sight of his dying wife in the cold bathroom floor. And he is mentally incapable of retaining any new memory since. By use of notes, Polaroid photos and strange tattoos of facts and pieces of advice, he seeks revenge on his wife's murderer- but his struggles are complicated by the perspectives and interests of the people around him.
This is a movie with a grip on your attention. This is a movie that challenges comprehension, a movie of significant detail. It's not the movie you'd watch to be lightheartedly entertained but you'd watch it because you know it's going to be good.
The unconventional storytelling tactic, paired with an interesting mental disorder and add to that, the frustrations of the vaguely developed characters- make this movie.
It is also beautifully written, with notions on memory and time and healing that provoke idle thought.
Overall, Memento is worth your time.
