Guy Pearce Doesn’t Care For His ‘Memento’ Performance: “Nails On A Chalkboard”


After 25 years, Guy Pearce recently revisited his critically-acclaimed role in Christopher Nolan's 'Memento' with fresh eyes.

Although millions of fans might disagree, Guy Pearce isn’t particularly fond of his performance in 2000’s Memento. The Oscar nominee recently admitted that he doesn’t care for his performance in the Christopher Nolan-helmed film, which he still thinks is “a good movie” in retrospect, despite his portrayal of memory-addled Leonard Shelby, comparing it to “nails on a chalkboard.” Memento grossed $40,047,236 worldwide, and it’s currently Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, holding a 94% Tomatometer and Popcornmeter score.
