It's nice to see another person with similar criticisms of Nolan. Sometimes I feel like I'm going crazy with how much his films continue to be glazed despite going radically downhill within the last decade. The last three have all been bad, and the problems that make them bad films are getting worse, but it feels like barely anyone else notices these very obvious trends (beyond the sound mixing which is a meme at this point).

Meanwhile, I pretty much only see criticism of Tenet online, especially for its sound mixing. But it's my favourite film of his, which is hard to say because I love Prestige, Interstellar, and Inception.

Tenet definitely copped a lot more. There was no cultural movement to save that film like there was with Oppenheimer (Barbenheimer) or The Odyssey (culture wars).

I've been meaning to rewatch it some time at home. I've only seen it the once; in the cinema where I couldn't understand rhe dialogue.
