New York film critics tend not to like Nolan films and they haven’t seen this yet.

A couple major NY outlets contracted critics from Europe, so their reviews have already been factored in. Otherwise, you're talking about a relatively small number against what will ultimately be hundreds of reviews. Shouldn't make a hugely material difference.Jesus of Suburbia wrote: ↑August 28th, 2020, 10:05 amNew York film critics tend not to like Nolan films and they haven’t seen this yet.AgentOfChaos wrote: ↑August 28th, 2020, 8:26 amI think the fear is that US reviews will be flavoured with a bunch of performative social commentary ala Joker. AKA, the “Chris Nolan is trying to murder you” crowd.
I‘d be surprised if that actually happened, but we’ll see. I’m sure there will be a few gems.
In general, I do think there's a small chance that the controversial release in the US creates some downward pressure - as it did with Joker. Particularly within more click-baity, predominantly online critical circles, which is a space that's otherwise been quite kind to Nolan in the past. I personally doubt it though. And it's not like it really matters either way.
I've seen the film, and can understand why it's somewhat divisive. I think it's a rich film that will age well (at least as much to chew on as Inception, though its buried a bit deeper), but it leaves a frazzled first impression, even for a "Nolan fan". If anything, I think some critics are giving it the benefit of the doubt.
That's typical for The Guardian. Less typical for NYT, Vulture, etc. Possible it'll get re-reviewed when it hits NY, but we'll see. Probably won't happen unless the critic really has a bone to pick.redfirebird2008 wrote: ↑August 28th, 2020, 10:22 amAlso possible there will be multiple reviews posted by some of the outlets.

There also are a number of big critics who I think will be boycotting theaters (Ty Burr from the Boston Globe wrote an article about this) due to the pandemic so we perhaps may not get anything more than a tweet from them about Tenet whenever they do see it.

So Bill and Ted got its certified fresh rating and Tenet not. I don’t get why RT is doing this...

It's for the best.
Joker was certified fresh (there are probably more examples) and then you know what happened when more reviews dropped.
What matters is the score anyway
