First "ok" review I've seen
This is the first "so-so kind of ok" review I've seen.

Pretentious, I think that is the key word, and it does sound like Nolan.
shareAs someone who enjoyed many of Nolan’s film this one definitely does seem pretentious and a bit awards bait-y.
At least the way some critics are talking about it and giving it 10/10 and 5 stars (A lot of British reviewers that see Nolan as a God of filmmaking.)
I’m British and I think Nolan’s a good filmmaker but he seems to have made this film purely for awards. This will most definitely win big at the BAFTA awards and many other awards shows.
I guess I can’t really blame him, he was probably fed up of having critical and commercial success whilst also getting snubbed at awards ceremonies.
That is actually quite a surprise to me, that he never won any major awards, not even a lousy golden globe.
No wonder he tried so hard.
Award ceremonies seem to have a bias against sci-fi but they’ll gush over historical drama films so this says to me that it’s finally Nolan’s year with Oppenheimer.
He should have been nominated and won directing for Inception back in 2011 but oh well.
I agree that Nolan should have won for Inception. Back then there was nobody to touch him. But I don't really like his artistic choices.
