    FilmEdge reviews INCEPTION

    FilmEdge reviews INCEPTIONINCEPTION is the summer film you'll be talking about all year. If Christopher Nolan's MEMENTO delved into the cinematic head trip of short-term memory loss, then INCEPTION explores the mysterious mazes of the heart and our fondest, darkest dreams, and it's a much more emotionally involving puzzle to solve. Told with the visual wonder of origami cityscapes folding over themselves but anchored to reality by a father's love for his estranged children, this is a brain-bending, challenging tale of redemption and absolution. Read FilmEdge's full review of INCEPTION online now.
