Memento Reviews
Very underrated movie in Christopher Nolan library films he did a wonderful job on this film. What I like about this film was the execution of it how he shot it and how he told the story in a manner a way that show his artistic touch and his creative directing skills. Overall, among movie fanatics this is must watch, I waited a while to see this movie but I am glad I got to.
Nolan definitely achieved what he was aiming to do when he made this film. Thought it was really creative to tell the story how he did. A pretty simple plot that turns way more complicated. I really enjoy how we are basically put into this story, and we are following along with the main character as to what the issue is. We basically are the main character, just in a first person POV. Now the fact that I have a million questions after this is prolly a good thing, but it really doesn't after my learning of the main story. It is simple questions that make me feel like a PI. I'll have to watch the film a few more times now that I have a grasp of things. Overall, pretty blown away with what Nolan chose to tell us. For something that could have easily failed, I'd say he pulled it off quite nice.
Very interesting and clever movie. Some might see it as a little odd but definitely very creative.
Christopher Nolans first great film. The editing and story are awesome. It doesn't need loads of action to keep you entertained. Just a great story.
Great original premise makes up Memento for being a classic
A total headache of a movie (im pretty sure that was Nolan intention), that is hard to follow and not for me.
Smart. Intelligent. Genius. Christopher Nolan.
Didn’t like it when it came out years ago. Saw it again recently and disliked it less. But not by much. What’s that all about, eh?
One trippy movie. As convoluted as it was with the timeline and sequence of events, it wasn't too difficult to follow (unlike Tenet).
Brilliant screenplay. Rating: 8.3/10
You only need to remember one word about this movie: Genius.
Whole another level of mind twist. Unforgettable experience.
Nolan is doing what Nolan had fun doing in future projects like Inception and Tenet: confusion as entertainment. The idea is very interesting and makes the film truly unique. Through the narrative in reverse, Nolan manages to put the viewer in the protagonist's head and makes us feel all the agony, affliction and despair he feels. However, as much as I love this idea, the execution made the experience very tiring and confusing. As I said, it's part of the creative proposal of the director, who also wrote the script for this project, and he certainly gets points for innovation. The result, however, made the experience less satisfying than it could have been: leaving the viewer as confused as the protagonist, the answers given in the plot twists didn't leave me with the feeling of a finished story. I was exhausted and not too worried about what I didn't understand or missed, just relieved that it was over.
Masterpiece storytelling and characterization
Favorite Nolan film. Just a well told mystery that unfolds backwards and in short intervals. Very original concept.
Memento is a film that truly made me think. Its unique backwards narrative glued me to my seat as I enjoyed the intriguing detective thriller.
A very confusing film. It was about a guy with short term memory loss trying to track down the killer of his wife. The performances were good. Christopher Nolan is a great director. The use of Polaroid photos was cool.
This is Christopher Nolan's first movie which he was nominated and OSCAR™ for. And it's a great film ine every way.
Memento is just a fantastic film as Christopher Nolan has produced a syringe that injects doses that you wouldn’t mainly think what is going to happen.
