    Strong contender for the greatest Uber/cab waiting scene ever.

    Since I find the films Nolan made after THE DARK KNIGHT increasingly terrible (I have never seen DUNKIRK though), I watched this one with very low expectations. Given that premise, I was actually pleasantly surprised. Still, definitely not a very good film.

    There is some good stuff here, especially when it comes to acting, but there is, of course, also Nolan's usual cinematic grandstanding which some people unfortunately mistake for great filmmaking. By now, Nolan seems almost incapable of doong…

    Even dumber on second viewing.

    While not without flaws, it's simply impossible not to love a film which starts with an extended riff on 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY, goes on to quote, among other things, Monty Python, Proust and THE MATRIX, and features as central plot point a searing indictment of the impossible demands women have to meet in contemporary society. And Ryan Gosling is simply hilarious.
