Intriguing Storytelling

Rating: 7/10 (31 July 2019)

Once again Christopher Nolan delivers an enticing cinematic experience. The telling of three different stories at three different times of the day at the same time requires a delicate balancing act. Although unique in itself, the arc of the characters in each of the stories didn't necessarily stand out. However, even with the minimal backstory, you still feel you understand the characters motivations.
The only problem I have with Christopher Nolan's movies is they tend to get over-hyped. Once the audience see's 'a film by Christopher Nolan' during the previews, they instantly start salivating at what is coming next. This reaction is a testament to the Director's success and skill of directing movies - not taking anything away from him. But at times this tends to cloud people's judgement of the movie, causing them to not be as objective as they can be about the film itself. Again, not taking anything away from Nolan because I have thoroughly enjoyed his films.
This film is one more success of Nolan's, accurately telling a historical event of great significance that majority of the world was not totally aware of (at least the details). Always a fun treat experiencing Nolan's latest movie. You never quite know what to expect, but you are always sure you will enjoy it.
