I caught the end of his review... Kermode enjoyed the technical aspects but had major issues with the plot, including the ending. Mayo seemed to enjoy it full stop and said he wanted to watch it again straight away. That's all I heard.
Yeah, I missed it, but I'll wait for it to be uploaded.
In the meantime, here's Simon's interview with Nolan.

...uhh sounded to me like Kermode has some issues with the plot, here and there, hardly major. He gave it a pretty damn good review...
Vader, can you explain how you go about rating films? You gave Interstellar a perfect score of an A+ but stated in your review that the film has noticeable flaws.
If something has noticeable flaws, wouldn't it naturally have to receive less than a perfect grade?

Sure. A+ isn't a perfect score. It means the film gave an experience that I largely believe represents the peak of the medium. Whatever flaws there are, and there are probably many, didn't get in the way of that. Thus, A+.
Just came back from cinema and I got mixed feelings.
Merits:
The Interstellar is visionary. It is visually gorgeous. It looks vintage, old-fashioned, rigid and stark which perfectly matches with its hard sf atmosphere and flavour. Zimmer surpised me with his score. It's bombastic in a good way and very emotional (sometimes too much).
Disadvantages:
Plot is lost in the space. It's too childish, naive and ridiculous. It just doesn't work on certain level. Characters are flat even when they push hard to be emotional which is another flaw. Too many emotions for me in the movie marathon like this. Not my cup of tea.
6 or 7/10 but I have to give it a try in the future once again.
