It seem his best movie (Interstellar, Inception, TDK) have lower scores while his mediocre movies have sky high scores (Dunkirk)

And yet it's still a masterpiece. 

[Dragoncaine]

Give me Dunkirk, Inception, TDK, Prestige, or Memento Nolan and I'm salivating

The Barbieheimer memes were great. But to see both film get stellar reviews is even better. This is what the industry should be about.

Me and critics haven't exactly seen eye to eye on Nolan films, but still, holy shit!

So what you're saying is like-minded people understood you. Cool. Meaningless, as I said...and that would go whether you loved or hated it, since it literally doesn't say anything about the movie. It just appeals to the instinctual side of those that preferred one movie over the other in your analogy, without actually explaining why.

For one it is closer to his later works than his (mid)earlier works - thought that was clear in my original post.

It also tucks less on emotions but focuses more on scale

 

In any case, the scenes which warranted the R-Rating were not necessary IMO.

Even after all his hemming and hawing, David Erhlich settled on a perfectly good B score/75 MC Seems like an incredible return to form after trash-tier Tenet!

nolan is a critics' darling. Even Tenet has 69 on metacritic and that movie is unwatchable

Tenet is amazing. One of Nolan’s best. If anything, I find it highly underrated. The opposite of Inception, which I find it overrated.

91 on MC after 40 reviews

TDK has a 94% RT and 82 MC, phenomenal scores!

I think Tenet needed something in the first half of the film that settled it down. Also a better lead actor... Like Inception had!

Inception has a combo of both raves and downright vitriolic reviews from critics. The MetaCritic is hilarious. Bunch of 100’s or 90’s and then a bunch of 20’s or 30’s or 40’s. It had more very high scores as well as very low scores compared to Interstellar. They both ended up in the mid 70’s.

I fucking love The Protagonist. I watched Inception for the first time in one of the best days of my life and watched several times since then hoping to finally get all the hype but… it just isn’t there for me. It got nothing on The Prestige, Tenet and Interstellar imho.

Cant even compare. Washington was going for something entirely different from Dicaprio.

I rewatched Insomnia the other day. I used to rate it lower in the list of Nolan movies, but I might actually put it above Dunkirk and Interstellar these days. Would probably give those 3 movies a similar grade, but slightly prefer Insomnia.
