Can you say Oscar Nominations?

Rating: 10/10 (4 September 2001)

This is a stunning piece of cinema with bits of humor and lots of suspense and drama. Guy Pearce was at his best in the role as a man who suffers from short-term amnesia. Carrie-Anne Moss and Joe Palantonio had great supporting performances since The Matrix. This is the best suspense movie that I have seen since L.A. Confidential. I think Christopher Nolan deserves a Best Director Oscar nod for his excellent direction of this film. Guy Pearce deserves a Best Actor nod for his performance. Memento also contains some of the best film editing I have seen in years. I think this movie will probably end up getting at least three to ten Oscar nominations. If not, the Academy doesn't know great filmmaking when they see it. This is one of the best films of 2000-2001. I give it a 10 out of 10.
