Reviews & comments
Variety
pressA gripping, highly dramatic thriller that more than confirms the distinctive talent of young Brit helmer Christopher Nolan.
Total Film
pressNolan's follow-up to Memento is just as taut and ambiguous as its predecessor and -- arguably -- features better performances from its leading me
Time Out
pressDespite its linear storyline, the film is very recognisably the work of the sharp, probing intelligence that gave us Following and Memento.
Roger Ebert
pressUnlike most remakes, the Nolan Insomnia is not a pale retread, but a re-examination of the material, like a new production of a good play.
Empire Magazine
pressPacino is on world-beating form and Williams delivers his best straight performance yet.
