Nolan's mind-bending masterwork has its unique place in cinematic history

Rating: 10/10 (30 November 2019)

Nolan doing what Nolan does best. This film is just a special kind of special. There is no other film like it (except maybe Interstellar but it doesn't stick the landing like this one). Inception requires the audience to pay attention to every millisecond, and I LOVE when a movie respects its audience like this. Nolan knows his audience is intelligent enough to follow every rule, every little detail of the heist plan, every little character motivation that drives the film forward. This movie bends your mind in a way no other movie can, yet somehow it works as a narrative that has one invested in the characters and clinging to the edge of one's seat by the end. Because of unique plot alone not to mention thrilling heist sequences, gripping themes, lovable characters, and fantastic finale, Nolan's baby has its spot among the all-time greats.
