A.O. Scott
The New York Times
The anomalous proliferation of scenic beauty gives Mr. Nolan irony to play with, and he uses it spectacularly. The director and his gifted cinematographer, Wally Pfister, are clearly turned on by all this wasted beauty. Full Review

Sensationally made and in patches pretty nerve-jangling. Full Review

Washington Post
Something to treasure: a thriller whose style, structure and rhythms are so integrated with the story, you cannot separate them. Full Review

ReelViews
Under the relentless glare of the Midnight Sun, the only darkness is in the hearts and actions of the characters. Full Review

Wall Street Journal
This one is nowhere near as original -- it's a flawed remake of a fine first feature from Norway -- but "Insomnia" still stands on its own as a thriller with brains and scenic beauty. Full Review
