Good, not great.

Rating: 7/10 (13 February 2019)

This is not a bad film, but it is not a great one. Nolan is a master of cinema, but this is his not his finest film-and I don't mean that with sarcasm, just plain truth. Half-ruined by a disastrous, awful, overdramatic performance by Ellen Page (terrible actress), the film rides on a phenomenal concept, and good acting from most-particularly by DiCaprio and Cotillard (surprisingly good chemistry), but has a little too much going on-it swings too suddenly from action to emotion and leaves you feeling like it's trying to cram too much into too little time. It should be noted that the ending is brilliant, with a spectacular score from Hans Zimmer, but this is not Nolan's best work. He's done better. Watch Dunkirk or The Dark Knight.
