Remarkable and thought-provoking

Rating: 10/10 (22 December 2001)

A think Memento is either a love it or hate it film.... I LOVED IT. If you blink or go to the bathroom during this film you will return and be completely lost, but it is taut... intense, and has more twists than a Cirque-de-Soleil contortionist.
Ultimately, it left me thinking in a very profound and philosophical way about the nature of human memory. Set against the backdrop of a modern day noir detective reverse-whodunnit... an incredibly difficult film to describe without giving too much information away.
Guy Pearce is EXCELLENT... terrific in basically a one man show. Supporting cast fills all the gaps, and the film is just superbly written. Editing this film must have been a Herculean task. A+
