Just saw- One of my favorite movies of all time

Rating: 10/10 (7 February 2020)

This is based on a novel by Jonathon Nolan (Chris Nolan's brother) and starring Australian actor Guy Pearce. Huge spoilers ahead: This movie works backwards, I feel like the movie wouldn't have made a-lot of sense without me knowing going in that the story would be told backwards, but I just saw this 7/02/2020 and boy oh boy is this a masterpiece.

Basically, Leonard Shelby has this incident when his wife is getting raped and murdered by two brutal attackers, Leonard hears her screams from the bathroom rushes in and tries to fight them off, but ends up getting his head smashed into a glass mirror, and then supposedly they leave. The story is that Leonard's wife survives, she is diagnosed with diabetes and he keeps injecting her with a needle but he forgets (due to his amnesia) that he is overdosing her with the drug, and she ends up dying of an overdose. Altogether, the story is original, unique and anything you would hope for in a psychological thriller.
Even though the story is quite dark, there is a humour to it. For example, character Teddy is hilarious, making jokes about Leonard's condition. Overall, this is my favorite psychological thriller by far! Grade: A+
