    another great film from one of my favorite directors, christopher nolan, but certainly not one easily understood. i feel that this is another film that i may have to watch multiple times to fully understand what is going on. the backward storytelling was certainly unique, which i appreciated. however, you really had to pay attention and remember what happend previously (or in the future) to understand what was happening with leonard's situation. there are a lot of twists in this…

    great film. although it was very long and dragged out at times, pacing was overall good. wasn’t too intense like a lot of other action/gangster movies either. liked how the familial and friend relationships were portrayed, really showed how close knit everyone is in these environments. excited to finish the trilogy now
