"...maravillosa. Un nuevo clásico [Reseña en Castellano]"
Cinenganos
Alex Ramirez
A-
"It is a film about subjectivity, and so the truth remains just beyond our reach..."
AboutFilm.com
Carlo Cavagna
5/5
"Memento stands on its own as a thriller, but it also works as a profound tragedy, stunning in its portrayal of a man teetering on the edge, though he doesn't even know it."
Filmcritic.com
Christopher Null
"At once disturbing and titillating."
PopMatters
Cynthia Fuchs
3.5/4
"...a film like "Memento" stands out, dares to challenge, and ultimately gives birth to a new mold of storytelling. It is the jackhammer for our frozen imaginations."

"Few films this year have been so dizzyingly complex, and none so richly rewarding."
Film Blather
Eugene Novikov
A-
"Sharply written, ingeniously constructed, strikingly shot and fast-paced,

Spirituality and Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
4/4
"When it comes to making a Top 10 list for 2001, one title I won't forget is
Memento
."
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
4/4
"an unnerving, but deeply penetrating experience that elevates what could have been a routine mystery thriller into a meditation on the slippery nature of reality itself"
Q Network Film Desk
James Kendrick

Window to the Movies
Jeffrey Chen

"a film that will not only blow your socks off, it will send them into orbit. "
Light Views
John Larsen
"The whole backward thing might sound gimmicky, but it works extremely well -- redefining terms like 'intricate thriller' and 'broken time.'"
Planet Sick-Boy
Jon Popick

Flick Filosopher
MaryAnn Johanson
4/4
"A film that simply gets so much right that there doesn't seem to be anything of real worth left to say about it once you see it."
Mr. Brown's Movies
Michael Dequina
4.5/5
"The structure works because it manages to put the viewer in the same state as Leonard."
Goatdog's Movies
Michael W. Phillips, Jr.
4/4
"One of the coolest, twistiest pieces of movie mystery ever made."
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
5/5
"To say anymore would give it all away. But even if I did, Memento bears repeating. This is a story about the stories we tell ourselves, and why we tell them."
Daily-Reviews
Mike Pinsky
5/5
"Um grande exercício de lógica e técnica narrativa."
Cinema em Cena
Pablo Villaca
5/5

Memento
, we can be glad that we don't share Leonard's amnesiac condition; it's the kind of film you don't want to forget."

Memento
left me unpersuaded that this trip was really necessary."
Decent Films Guide
Steven D. Greydanus
9/10
"It's a weird, murky thriller that toys with your mind, culminating in an unsettling universal truth: "I have to believe that, when my eyes are closed, the world's still here.""
