About this movie

A landmark film from acclaimed director Christopher Nolan (INCEPTION, THE DARK KNIGHT, THE PRESTIGE, BATMAN BEGINS, INSOMNIA), MEMENTO is a mind-bending thriller whose mesmerizing power grows with every viewing. Guy Pearce stars as Leonard, a man with a bizarre disorder: the inability to form new memories. Ever since that fateful night when his wife was murdered, anyone Leonard has met, or anything he has done, simply vanishes from his mind. Who are his friends? Who are his enemies? What is the truth? The answers change from second to second as Leonard seeks vengeance for his wife's murder...and sinks into an abyss of uncertainty and danger.

Ratings and reviews

This is one movie you have to pay serious attention to in order to get any enjoyment out of it. I've watched it super close five times, loved every minute of each time, and still come to the conclusion that there just isn't a conclusion. There can be, if you want it to be there, but there's no definitive reason to decide one way or the other and that's what makes this great little modern noir so intriguing.

This movie shows why Christopher Nolan is as talented as he is. This isn't a movie, it's a masterpiece of writing and directing. You very likely won't see a movie like this again. I originally saw it in the theatre back in 2001 and I actually wanted them to rewind it to the beginning.....

This movie is BRILLIANT! It has EVERYTHING a good movie should have;; Action, Drama, Suspense, Comedy, and Romance for the ladies! BUT, you Do have to pay attention and be Wide Awake while watching this movie.!! t will make you think, and if you miss ANY part of it, you will be lost! I HIGHLY recommend it!!
