Authentic!

Rating: Null/10 (28 March 2001)

I'm a neuropsychiatrist who runs a Memory Clinic. This film is a MUST for others like me: the portrayal of people trapped in their present - Leonard and Sammy - is masterly and rings absolutely true. Also it manages, at times, to be legitimately hilarious about a very poignant subject. The Nolans are entitled to honorary membership of the College of Psychiatrists! (Guy Pearce is brilliant, Stephen Tobolowsky and Harriet Sansom Harris are very fine as Sammy Jankis & his wife, and Joe Pantoliano is the ultimate slime ball!) --------------------------
