Tim Robey

Monocle

As a delivery system for the thrills, I think the film gets a long way, and you can kind of sit back and enjoy it. As a delivery system for the ideas, I think it trips itself up an awful lot.

The Daily Beast

Something like the epitome of [Nolan's] temporally twisty canon, distilling his many cinematic signatures and preoccupations down to their entrancing abstract essence.

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

[Christopher Nolan] is very clever, but mostly irritating is what I find. [His movies] are not cerebral - they're fake cerebral... He doesn't even do the time travel right.

Despite all of its issues in terms of plot and inaudible dialogue, Tenet is a reminder that nothing can quite beat the cinematic experience.

Rated: B-

Cinema Elite (YouTube)

Every single thing you think you’ve known about the filmmaker—or even about this movie in particular—is rendered virtually useless.

Newcity

A sleek, grandiose, modestly berserk, superbly costumed, intermittently lovely tessellation of dawdle and detonation and elements found in James Bond movies along with the customary Christopher Nolan time-and-space conundra.

Rated: 9/10
