Reviews


91
Portland Oregonian - Shawn Levy
A hard and bright and tough film in all the best ways.
90
TV Guide Magazine - Maitland McDonagh
Enthralling or infuriating.
88
Chicago Tribune - Mark Caro
A puzzle movie in which the puzzle is actually worth the time and effort to solve.
88
Philadelphia Inquirer - Steven Rea
Terrifically satisfying film.
80
L.A. Weekly - Ella Taylor
If nothing else, Memento is a savvy comment on the queasy uncertainties of the postmodern condition, in which history goes no further back than yesterday's news, and knowledge is supplanted by "information" from a tumult of spin-controlled, unreliable narrators.
