- CarterJuly 13, 2026Memento is a very clever and unique film. Positives: - The movie is well made, well directed, well shot, and well edited - The movie visually looks good - The score is great - The premise of the film is intriguing and immediately hooks you in with the first scene - The performances are all great - The movie is always interesting and keeps you guessing - The twists and turns and reveals we get along the way are all great leading up to a big twist at the end of the film - The movie also contains a great message about love, revenge, and memory Negatives: - The movie is structured and paced in a very unique but almost frustrating way that I feel will affect it’s rewatch ability in the future Overall Memento is a very clever and unique movie that I definitely recommend.
- Luke EricksonJune 13, 2026I really liked this movie. It's a little dark but it gets you right from the jump and keeps that pace the whole movie. The ending revelation is wild and it sticks with you. Christopher Nolan shot this in 28 days on a nothing budget. We'll see what he can do this summer with the Odyssey and a huge budget with a 6 month shooting schedule. Go get your tickets for IMAX. 😂
- Daniel CrandallApril 21, 2026This is really a great movie. The focus is really on the story as the camera work and editing are great, but simple, without special effects or fancy budget. It really draws you in, and I watched it a second time to see what I missed the first time! Loved it both times! Definitely a little violent and rough around the edges. But it needed to be.
