Brilliant, unique, and riveting throughout

Rating: 9/10 (14 December 2014)

Memento is quite unlike any other film I've ever seen. It's about a guy who cannot create new memories trying to find his wife's killer. That alone is an interesting enough premise. But Christopher Nolan decided to take it even further by making the film go backwards. The film starts with the end, and goes to the beginning. So, right from the start, you know what the end result is, yet, you really don't know what happened. It manages to keep the viewer guessing and asking questions, despite already have given away the ending. That is some truly genius writing and directing on Nolan's part, once again demonstrating his immense talent. Every scene is positively dripping with mystery and suspense, and I can't remember the last time I was so riveted to the screen. This is probably Nolan's best film to date, and I strongly suggest you seek it out.
