he'll be taking 1 or 2 actors from Tenet onto his next, presumably. Debicki seems like a lock. Pattinson has an outside shout, depends on his Batman schedule.

Bale as a lead, or villain, feels like it'll happen again. and of course Hardy at some point.

this movie will end up doing fine. Internationally it'll have legs. a bummer about U.S. but it'll get some needed cash from those big, unopened markets. ironically, this movie will have its life on HBO Max and grow in reputation there. as for Nolan, laughable to assume he won't be able to do what he...

3rd viewing, what was initially obtuse and bombastic is now a razor sharp interlocking loop of belief -- stylized with a far more kitschy playfulness than I initially thought. The film keeps revealing more insights and emotions (effect before cause), and pulls you in deeper while expanding thematica...

Sorta think if Inception was directed like Tenet, and used its more on-the-run, obtuse exposition, it would hands down be Nolan's best movie. I think the writing is slightly better in Inception and it's a more dynamic film, especially in the playfulness of the dialogue, but Tenet is the better direc...

My least fave of the Nolan/Hoytema's collabs. Still an often beautiful film, but i'm guessing a lot of the work here went into how to do the inversion sequences? Also think the vastly different locations don't lend the film to having a clear "look" whereas Interstellar/Dunkirk are very zoned in on t...

second viewing of the finale is much clearer and more thrilling. He's doing Star Wars with it. Wish there was more shown with villains firing back, but it's obviously something specific he's pulling from Dunkirk, as mentioned. I think it's a lil closer in quality to TDKR's finale, although significa...

Haven't seen ton of writing about what the movie is actually doing, particularly in its formal interests and how Nolan has been slowly streamlining certain methods since Inception. I gather there will be more interesting writing once more people see it but i stumbled upon this on letterboxd piece by...

TENET = Nolan's "Ryan's Daughter".

secretly Lean's best film (or most interesting we'll say)

2nd viewing is like a new film, so perfectly calibrated and it all fits into place. Possibly one of Nolan's best? And there's far more going on here than many are realizing.

you guys are forgetting Kat diving out of the boat and revealing to us that she’s the woman she was envious of the whole time. i legit teared up i’ll actually make the bold claim she’s Nolan’s best female character yet (not that it’s a particularly high bar to cross LOL) ya this is one of the most ...
