Creative story-telling

Rating: 7/10 (10 February 2020)

Creative story-telling, interesting mystery, and I liked the payoff at the end. I thought it took a little too long to get there and was repetitive in its overlapping bits, so I got a little less caught up in the cleverness of it all than others. Part of me felt it was too contrived, and part of me wondered why the main character didn't just take copious notes rather than scrawl single lines on photos and tattoo himself, or better yet, shoot videos of himself. How could he be functional on his own, driving, etc in this state? How does he even remember that he has a memory problem? The reverse story-telling is intricate, maybe too much so, or maybe some of it was just lost on me. I just felt it was a decent film, with an average plot, performances, and cinematography, but told in a creative way.
