filmcritic.com (Christopher Null)

Amnesia and a murder mystery? Isn't this usually the kind of thing that hackneyed thrillers are made of -- stuff like Unforgettable, so bad you had to scrape it off your shoe the minute you left the theater? Usually it is. ...read the complete Memento movie review at filmcritic.com (Christopher Null)

Mr. Cranky

Pardon me for being a man, but I really wanted to see Carrie-Anne Moss naked -- otherwise, what was the point of viewing this film? Is that so much to ask? So much to want?

MovieMusings.com (Ken Rosenberg)

The opening scene of Memento unfolds in reverse action; an instant photograph fades to white and is sucked back into the camera; a gun flies into the hand of a character. Linear storytelling is thus turned on its head; the story begins at the end,...read the complete Memento (2000) review at MovieMusings.com (Ken Rosenberg)

New York Magazine (Peter Rainer)

Nolan sustains an arty note of existential dread that probably will work better for noir-steeped film critics and overserious philosophy grad students than for general audiences, but he brings off a few brisk bravura moments....read the complete Memento (2000) review at New York Magazine (Peter Rainer)
