4/4  If you don't give this 4 stars you suck!
Many critics find it easy to write this off as a backwards trick with a thin plot or as a non-accessible psychological study of daily routine. To be honest with ourselves we must admit that it is both and much more and everyone should bask... (read full)

4/4  Masterpiece.
To label Memento as a modern-day masterpiece would be a striking understatement. Nolan has created a film that distinctively stands on its own against any era, an achievement he will in all likelihood never duplicate throughout his career... (read full)

3/4  Memento Quick Review
Engenhoso, aparentemente original, mas não especialmente marcante. Destaque para Carrie Anne-Moss no elenco.

3.5/4  Memento Quick Review
Definitely one of the best cult classic movies of all time. Great movie.

3/4  Memento Quick Review
This is one you HAVE to watch again immediately. They way they film the story, playing on the hero's inability to form new long-term memory, you have to pay attention. Leaves you to determine the truth.

2/4  Memento Quick Review
Its concept is great and it's screenplay is good but Memento is just one big experiment and once you get past that there's really no emotion or other exceptional features that make the movie worth while. It's interesting, that's it.

5/5 Memento
  by L. Cole (Highland, Utah United States)
I originally wanted to watch it because I am a huge Jorja Fox fan and she stars in it. I wish that Jorja was more of a round character in this film. Guy Pierce stars in it as a man (Leonard) who lost his short term memory in an accident the night his wife was murdered. He can remember everything in his life perfectly up until that omnious night. Out of revenge, Leonard (guy pierce) searches for his wife's murderer. But he can't be certain about anything as he tries to uncover the truth. This is a deep movie and it took me a couple of times watching it to understand a few things. Great movie with a lot of suspense.

5/5 An extraordinary film that you will not forget
  by Evan Effres
This gripping revenge thriller will keep you guessing from beginning to end and keep you talking long after it is over. With it's unusual style and it's extremely complex plot, Memento will take you for a mesmerizing ride that you will not soon forget. Leonard, possessing a rare brain disease that leaves him incapable of forming new memories, is on a constant search for the man who murdered his wife. Leonard's disease, however, makes this search for revenge seemingly impossible. He must assemble numerous clues for himself, some in the form of tattoos, others in the form of Polaroid pictures of people relating to his search. These clues leave Leonard with just a hint of who the people around him are and provide him with knowledge of the previous progress he has made. The viewer follows Leonard, without any awareness of who is pulling the strings, from the eventual finding of the suspected killer to the start of Leonard's escapade. This backwards telling of events leaves the viewer in a similar state to Leonard's, having no idea what has just previously happened and how or why the current situation is taking place.
Memento is a great movie to own because it is one of those rare movies that you will want to watch over and over again. With it's intricate plot and changing perceptions of characters throughout, there is always some missed hidden detail waiting to be discovered. If you like thriller movies that will keep your mind stimulated while keeping you at the edge of your seat, you need to buy this movie. It is a masterpiece that must be seen.


4/5 Paranoid Polaroid
  by sft (UK)
Memento is a fascinating study of memory and how it shapes our reality. It also explores the way in which some people will readily exploit the misfortune of others. Christopher Nolan has crafted an inventive psychological thriller that keeps the viewer guessing right up until the final scene. Guy Pierce gives a nicely measured performance and is supported by a solid cast. It's an enjoyable challenge to rewind the movie in your head, as you watch, in order to keep track of the reversed narrative. And the pay-off at the end is also quite satisfying. There may be some suspect logic along the way but this doesn't detract from what is a very satisfying movie.
