Deserving of its spot in the top #250

Rating: 10/10 (16 June 2002)

This movie is very cleverly constructed. Everything is addressed, and everything is a solid story. No plotholes really, and you never think "What about?" except for one scene, which I'll state at the bottom with a spoiler notice.
You probably won't like this movie if you thought it was a certain kind of movie. Or if you like movies like 2001 or Mulholland Drive. Or if you don't like to sit through a whole movie. There's really not much to say except to see it, and don't listen to people who say they don't like it "Because it was confusing." Just wait, and everything will explain itself, unlike the "masterpieces" I mentioned above with dozens of useless elements.
SPOILER!!!!!!!!
I don't understand why Leonard was shown with his wife in bed while he had the tattoos. Was it a continuity error? If so, shouldn't that have been spotted? If not, please email me and help me sort that out, or post and explain!
Ten stars easy.
