Genius writing and directing, as to be expected from C. Nolan.

Rating: 9/10 (11 January 2020)

This movie is absolutely genius and although I love it, there are some negatives that I will quickly run through.
First off, the cinematography and visuals are very boring and not at all memorable (apart from the photographs and the parts in black and white). I understand that this is partly because of the budget but also because it fits the narrative of the film really well, but this doesn't take away from the fact that they are uninspiring and frankly quite boring. The score and sound design were not particularily great either, I can't even seem to remember if there was any music at all. My third and final complaint is about the acting. While the actors sometimes shined and truly showed the pain and tragedy of memory loss, most often the performances were quite bland and not something I will remember about this film.
The story, writing, and directing, however, was absolutely brilliant. In true Nolan fashion, he has created a wonderfully complex, interesting and truly unique story that is told in a very original and captivating way. It gives you something to think about, and the way it is all connected as well as how it gives us information and reveals, is extremely rewarding. Thank you, Cristopher Nolan, for this fantastic movie. I will not forget it for a long time.
