excellent film

Rating: 9/10 (17 May 2001)

I don't want to say too much about the movie for fear of spoiling it for those who haven't seen it, which is (sadly) a lot of people. Nolan fulfils the promise he showed in Following and more. The ten minute or so overlapping segments that flow backwards to create the movie... It's fantastic. Pearce is brilliant as Leonard Shelby, the main character. Carrie-Anne Moss and Joe Pantoliano are amazing as supporting cast; they manage wonderfully the sometimes incredibly difficult task of taking up enough of the stage to make the story work, which they have to do, considering the Shelby's disorder, (he can't remember anything for more than 10min.) without taking up so much that we focus on them instead of Shelby and his struggle to find his wife's rapist and killer, the enigmatic John G.
The story is great, but the style of the telling truly makes it a film to remember.
