From the beginning of memento you can tell they are trying to confuse the audience as there is a lot of twists in the timeline, the main character is isolated as he has a memory condition, this gives lots of scope to the director to make it confusing, yet it looks as if it is trying to hard to be about the psychological aspect. There is use of black and white flashback to reassure the audience but is still probably another twist in the tale. When viewing it is inviting you to watch on as you feel like you want to find out what the mystery is, even though you don't even know the cause of his anguish. The way it is filmed and edited really keeps you thinking and this takes quite clever writing as generally you like to have some base knowldege to guess from.
