Discuss And Now... Ladies and Gentlemen...

This movie isn't for casual watchers. It has one of the most fragmented narratives I've seen, jumping back & forth in time as well as dreams & reality, telling 2 unrelated stories that converge; it's a lotta work to keep up, but I think the payoff is pretty cool.

The story is about 2 people, leading separate lives, each having the same symptoms: blackouts, memory loss and an inability to distinguish reality from hallucinations. Get it? That's why the narrative has to be fragmented with gaps and fantasy, to pull us into their incoherent world. Characters & events are not given a clear backstory, so we have to piece it together as we go along, just like the main characters. Apparently many critics missed this point with Rottentomatoes giving it 47% and slamming it as "convoluted and awash in suds". I'm like gee Sherlock congrats on figuring out the point, maybe next you can tell me that Blair Witch Project has amateur camera work 🙄

Anyway, for any fans of this movie or other movies that deliberately break up the narrative to bend our concept of reality, can you name other good movies that take the same approach?
