A masterpiece of structure

Rating: 10/10 (2 May 2001)

Memento is about a man who has no short term memory, but at the same time it tests the limits of your own. As pieces of the puzzle are revealed, you have to try your hardest to remember what you've already seen and piece it together, much like Leonard Shelby is trying to do. There are several subtle, hugely important facts that are shown for only split seconds, playing into Leonard's claim that your eyes can fool you and only facts matter.
