Mike Ryan @​mikeryan I've been struggling with how to cover a movie like TENET, a film trying to get people back in theaters in the U.S. during a pandemic when experts say it's the last thing we should do.

Even The Godfather gets negative reviews

Ever since Tree of Life got anything above a 1/5, ive never taken reviews seriously. It’s good and positive if a film gets a good write up generally, but end of day means zilch.

Lol Tree of Life is an amazing film

Most of those sources would be the types to use hyperbole, but that is still some huge praise for sources like Empire, Total Film, Den of Geek, HeyUGuys, etc. to not only say its great but to say its one of a kind or the pinnacle

So I guess for Chicago I’m torn between 70mm only at the Music Box or IMAX at Lincolnshire.... Bummer

I am expecting pretty similar reception to what Inception got. It will be universal acclaim but not Dunkirk level. Them being content with reviews dropping same day tickets go on sale in the USA is a pretty big sign of confidence that they know the word of mouth will be highly positive.
