Really long...and really good

Rating: 8/10 (26 December 2017)

This film was silly, long, overwrought and pretty far-fetched. But Nolan keeps you in it, emotionally and intellectually. He's a master storyteller even when the story itself fails at points. I could have done without the last 1/3, but the first 2/3 left me intrigued and breathless...just like he likes it. At one point a character demonstrates the time space dimension with a folded piece of paper; Nolan's films are just that: pages of a story folded over and over. You will love the characters, the pathos and the journey even when the point feels a bit - well - pointless. Plus, hard to fault a Science Fiction film for going all religious/philosophical. It's happened before and will happen again.
