      Shioka O just spend three minutes! already it is in his style. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/09/22 Full Review Audience Member One of Christopher Nolan's earliest film projects, Doodlebug isn't as smart and as well-thought out as the man's future endeavours (it was clear he was inexperienced at this time and was still a student; from what I've heard, his first movie "Following" is very much a glorified student film) but it's use of black-and-white, ending that provides metaphors that make me happy that YouTube comments exist and use of mundane, yet still decent-for-its-tiny-budget make it a nostalgic look at Nolan's humble beginnings...and likely to give fans of his work further appreciation for how far he's come since then. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Original and surreal. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member With a uneque story this film is watchable. This is totally a Christopher Nolan film. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Original and surreal. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member With a Lynchian atmosphere, Nolan created an ambitious short film that relies on visual metaphors to represent a familiar, yet important, moral message. The editing in general, and the sound editing in particular, is very exquisite, and intensified the moody and dark atmosphere that matches what the short film indicates very well. Above all that, Doodlebug proves that Christopher Nolan is a risk-taker from the get-go. (9/10) Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
