Guy Pearce gives a mesmerizing performance as a guy who suffers from short-term memory loss, possibly better than Dory in Finding Nemo LOL 🤣. It gets a little too violent sometimes but seriously this movie is so impressive and daunting it's easy to overlook the excesses."

Told "backwards," this is, at its core, a touching film about a man looking for solace after the death of his wife. Even if one is already familiar with the story--indeed, even if one has seen it before--it is worth watching repeatedly as new details emerge."

What I loved about it is how it doesn't treat you like a stupid audience member and encourages you to solve the mystery behind the story along with the characters."
