Memento is Guy Pierce's best performance so far in his career as he will stop at nothing to find the murderer who killed his wife. Great movie and acting.

What Parents Need to Know
About Memento
Parents need to know that this movie follows the efforts of a man to avenge the rape and murder of his wife. Throughout the film, Leonard is motivated solely by his desire to find and execute the man he believes killed his wife. Characters drink, smoke, steal, lie to one another, sell drugs and commit murders. This is not a film that most viewers will be able to absorb easily: The plot is relayed in a jumbled fashion, as Leonard suffers from short-term memory lost, and the audience primarily relies on him for information.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the unorthodox storytelling. Did you find the different style here engaging -- or just confusing? Why don't more movies take risks like this one? Can you think other stories -- movies, books, etc. -- that unfold in non-linear ways?

One of my favorites! Many twists & turns
This movie is only appropriate for adults, as it deals with murder, deception, drugs & sex. What I loved about this movie is that it is show backwards in short sequences, and it keeps twisting & turning. It keeps you on your toes & involvedin the movie. Watch it with a friend or spouse... I guarantee you'll be talking about it for days trying to decipher everything & give it your spin. Enjoy!
