Telling the story backwards is a brilliant device, not only because it makes for excellent suspense and surprises but especially because you take part in the mystery in a way similar to the protagonist who, as a result of his condition, is also disorientated and confused. The game cast and a neat twist seal the deal. This was, deservedly so, an instant classic.

Some say this film is based entirely on a bloody gimick. I cry "bullshit!" because without the film's twisted narrative, Nolan would not have the artistic license to explore the fascinating themes of memory and morality, and wrapping it around a neo-noir storyline. This is Guy Pearce's superior performance-he perfectly plays the angry everyman Lenny, who is forced to deal with a condition no one can understand, which only gives focus to the movie's twisted complexities. I have a strong desi

A nearly flawless movie. Memento is a masterpiece of screenwriting and directing. Not a single scene, shot, or facial expression is wasted. Every tiny detail is deliberately set in place to clue the viewer in, but the non-linear story keeps us at just the right distance. A perfectly balanced tight rope act. Some call the backwards story a gimmick. It's not. Rather, it's a crucial tool in bringing us into Leonard's damaged mind. We're not observing events, we're experiencing them.

Amazing. To simply call this movie "clever" is doing it a disservice. It's also exciting, fascinating, heartbreaking, thought-provoking, and occasionally very funny - everything a movie-lover could want. Watch it at least twice.

First of all, this is not based on a freakin' gimmick! Second of all, this is a flawlessly made, competent and almost incomprehensible film that plays in a reverse chronological order manner in it's mangled plotline. This is also like a mind-fuck in several ways, but undoubtly it's a jigsaw puzzle-type Mystery, letting you figure out where all of the pieces go. Nolan's finest hour, and perhaps one of the most best, memorable, shocking, twisted, intelligent, clever and astounding movies ever.

(2nd viewing) Saw it once 7 or 8 years ago, a tantalizing thiller with an fresh take on storytelling. In the end, this is the part that works and sticks with you. The story isn't that refreshing really, but rather the device that is used to communicate it. Nolan does put it to good use, and it's a film I'd be happy to revisit (for the technique, once again, not the story). A great and original piece of work.

Skillfully brought to fruition, Memento slowly lays out the pieces of a complex puzzle and forces its audience to intellectually wrestle with the "big picture." Engaging and inventive, Nolan keeps movie goers on the edge of their seat even after the credits are rolling due to its ambiguous ending.

A decent thriller, but far from perfect. I think the concept is perhaps better than the actual execution - the characters were all rather bland and unlikeable, the cinematography was pretty flat, and there were a number of other small annoyances like Pearce's near-constant voiceover (it's a complex film, but do we really need every last detail spelled out to us?). I admire the ambition and the creativity that is needed to produce a film like this, but it didn't entirely work for me.

Unquestionably one of the best pictures of 2001. Christopher Nolan, like a few other rarities of directors, cannot be undone. When a story is done in this unique fashion, it's not a gimmick, my friends. It's fucking amazing and the reason we love the art form.

Arguably Nolan's best film. Begins as a hardboiled Neo-noir, but dissolves into a heartbreaking tragedy with modernist undertones. If the plot is ultimately about nothing, the film is much more than another detached genre exercise (looking at you, Coens). The brilliant intercutting between past and future in reverse keeps you guessing right up until the brutally cruel conclusion, after which you can't help wondering: This whole life-thing, our endless pursuits... is there a Leonard in all of us?

Chris Nolan's second film is unshakable. The concept is so fascinating, the pay-off so satisfying; once you see this film, you won't ever forget it. Nolan gives us a man suffering from short-term memory loss, and puts us in his shoes by making sure we never know where he's coming from either: the stylistic hook is that the scenes are presented in reverse order. It works incredibly well, and the movie holds up under repeat viewings. It gets tossed around a lot, but this is truly a Modern Classic.

A gritty, stylish, dark and twisted mystery thriller that'll keep you guessing and leave you breathless when all is said and done. Guy Pearce is awesome as Leonard and rarely do I see a movie that keeps me so on-edge and involved for every second. Some say the backwards thing is a gimmick, and to them I say: of course it is. Hitchcock used gimmicks too; there's nothing wrong with gimmicks if they're novel and fascinating.

A page-turner of a novel, but in movie form; full of twists, always suspenseful, with strong performances across the board (but especially Stephen Tobolowsky -- really, Ned from Groundhog Day -- in a supporting role).

One of Christopher Nolan's tightest and most inventive films features a unique style of direction that makes this movie endlessly re-watchable. You'll be paying attention to tiny details the whole time, trying to figure out the mystery, and the moment the ending is pulled out from under your feet, you'll sit back and think - dang, I need to watch this again. The acting is fantastic, but the true star is the smart script and bold editing technique.

A fiery film start which is actually the explosive end of the story is a gimmick which is all to often badly utilised to add intrigue to a plotline. However combined with the twisted reverse plot, it is the perfect way to bring the viewers into the disorientating and challenging world of a man who can not form new memories but whose life is still dedicated to investigation and revenge. A study of memory and morality in classic noir style.

Truly astonishing!! How perfect can one movie be. The only negative thing that I can possibly say about it is that it is somewhat depressing and almost entirely devoid of comedy. But it wasn't trying to be funny and it's depressing in a really interesting way. It's incredible that a movie that was made after so many great film-noir's can manage to be completely fresh. It uses what should be a stupid gimmick but it ends up not being a gimmick at all and is completely necessary. Wow. Just wow.

Watch this film. Then watch it again. And again. Perhaps a fourth time too. Memento is a movie that is meant to confuse you, and to that end it succeeds. It's so easy to get entranced by the acting, especially Guy Pearce's, that one forgets that the backwards narrative is even there. When the climax pieces everything together, one begins to realize the tragic nature of the film, and the true drama behind it all. An exciting film that never lulls its viewers into boredom.

Tempting as it is to write this backwards, this film is confusing enough. It is also bloody brilliant. Taking as least three viewings to establish what happens (or should that be what will happen? Or has happened?) it follows our protagionist as he pieces together the clues he needs to avenge his wife. Or has he already done so? Either way, a head-f*** of epic proportions, a must for anyone who's brain is sponsored by the gods of Idiot.

Probably the smartest and most well made gimmick movie of all time. Telling the story backwards is a very unique and intersting way to put you into the story right off the bat. Nolan shows the directing smarts that made him such a big name, and reliable character actor Guy Pearce delivers one of the best performances of his career.

Many people say it's not that good because the backward story telling is a cheap trick to "blow your mind", but for me the movie is so much more than that, allthough it's a madly innovative movie experience! On a deeper level Memento is a complex story about letting go, not wanting to understand, and the search for revenge. And so what? Why can't a movie be great JUST because of the way it is told?

The structure may be a bit of a gimmick but the execution is near flawless. Every scene has you asking questions that are answered in the next one and the whole film is one gigantic puzzle. But the best part is that the joy isn't in piecing it together, but in examining the way you piece it together. The shifting perceptions and motivations, the half truths and uncertainties, the parallels between the viewer the characters and the world at large, all give the film a life beyond its own story.

This is the everyday story of a guy with no short term memory, escaping from a lunatic asylum, and being used by people to kill other people, under the guise of revenge for his wifes murder; or not, depending on your understanding of it. Nolan has attempted to create something that is entirely up to the viewer to decipher and interpret in terms of the way the story is told, and its subliminal messages, and whilst novel and laudable, becomes repetitive & monotonous forgetting to be very exciting

Brilliant all the way through. Puts you in the psyche of the protagonist successfully. Great performances. Suspense and humor. Nolan announced his arrival here and it's clear he has significant talent. This movie is a jigsaw puzzle where the pieces keep changing so you can never piece it together. Has inspired many theories. We may never know what happened at the end, but the film invites enough unpleasant conclusions that it lingers in your mind for days. Would recommend to strangers.

Going into this film I was torn; I'd heard from some people that it was great and from others that it was a forgettable gimmick. I think the truth is, as always, somewhere in the middle. It's certainly not gimmicky; it's very well acted and directed, and the narrative is refreshing without feeling either forced or frustrating. However, at times it feels like it's trying to be an introspective examination of guilt and at others a thriller--and I don't think it's well served as a result.

An amazing piece of filmmaking that brings up a great deal of questions about our ways of knowing and whether or not our goals are truly in our best interests. It innovates without being pretentious.

One of my favorite dark drama/mysteries. Guy Pearce is amazing!

One of the most original (and successfully original) films ever made. Flawless editing. One of the best films of the decade.

This is NOT merely an overrated cult classic. If you give the film a chance and actually ponder the situations presented, you may find yourself inspired to revise your philosophy of life as this film explores the nature of our perception of reality like no other. Even if the film fails to inspire such contemplation, surely everyone will find something entertaining in it. By the way, this is what the Nolans were doing before they became household names.

Interesting idea, but bland cinematography that didn't pull me into the story or make me care about the simple characters. I could see the ending coming halfway in, and that wouldn't have bothered me, but then Leonard's final monologue basically destroys the tragedy of his character and half of the broader points. A "psychological thriller" that is completely boring and unaffecting.

A most memorable movie about forgetting. This film is a BIG gamble in editing that pays of in spades. Unlike almost any other movie you've ever seen, and worth every minute...

Quite a brain workout this film - not one you can watch absently as something to pass the time. Extremely clever way of revealing the story that puts you in very much the same position as Leonard. Fantastic

Memento is a fantastic thriller which is worth the price of admission for the editing alone. It also is one of Nolan's most humanistic works, focusing deeply on the psyche of the protagonist and using this exploration to ask and answer some very relatable questions of the human experience.

Innovative treatment of a fascination condition - the ability to only remember the immediate past. This movie worked as a very dark, existential comedy as well. Brilliant - in my top five movies of all time.

I have felt just like the main character - because the story is backwards, you don't know, what happened before. Still, you are not lost in the story and have time to enjoy wathing it.

The Fuck-you ending is really good, but it's one of those movies that really loses any sort of replay value because of it. Well done movie, and really shows off Nolan's skills as a director, but it's a film built on a gimmick.
