Memento

Synopsis

An insurance adjuster(?) now sufferers from amnesia and uses tattoo and notes to help remember what is going. However, he is hunting down his wife's killer and this movie is possibly in reverse.

Review

I don't know how to even start this. This is my LEAST favorite Christopher Nolan film and I don't know why people love it so much. Was that acting good? For sure. Was the movie good? Meh.

The story is fine. I think there is some intentional confusion, but I feel like I missed something that was important as I watched this over a couple of nights. That might be its biggest downfall for me. It just felt like I was seeing the same thing over and over and while I understood why and what it was doing, it dragged by. Especially the beginning of the movie.

The acting is probably my favorite part. I really enjoyed watching this and was curious how they filmed it since there is this overwhelming feeling that they might have filmed it the way it was cut, but I might be missing something. Like I said, it took a couple of days for me to watch this, and I just felt like it dragged by.

My Rating

I want to like this movie. I love Christopher Nolan's films. From The Dark Knight Series, Tenet, and Oppenheimer. However, this was a complete miss for me. I am genuinely looking forward to The Deep Dive review of this movie so I can understand it. This is a 6 for me, but I'll be honest that is probably a blasphemes statement.

Parental Rating

I don't even know. I can't remember anything about it specifically. I know there was some language, I remember a sex scene, there is some violence, and that is about it. I can't say either way, but I am going to say rejected by both.
