- Sensibility: The memory loss element allows for the story to get away with a lot, but the ending brings up more questions than answers. Teddy's behavior and the timing of his memory lapses
are particularly glaring head-scratchers.
- Cinematography: The film is extremely well edited, giving the narrative more meaning and growing tension to a climactic final reveal. However, the choice to use black-and-white for some scenes
is distracting and doesn't really make sense narratively.
- Energy: Great watch purported by great editing and a great narrative. However, the film lulls a bit in the repetition over the memory loss issues and back-and-forth repeated scenes with Natalie.
- Narrative: As a story-telling device, the memory loss element is excellent. However, it forces the film to have brilliant editing and scene order. The story is good and well told,
but it still feels like a slight re-organization would make the film flow better and be more interesting.
- T-Points: The film received one bonus point for the short-term memory loss narrative device.
It's a solid watch, but it has issues. The end reveal is so juicy but also so rushed that it just makes the ending feel abrupt.
