Critics Consensus

Interstellar represents more of the thrilling, thought-provoking, and visually resplendent filmmaking moviegoers have come to expect from writer-director Christopher Nolan, even if its intellectual reach somewhat exceeds its grasp.

Staggeringly beautiful, bafflingly complex, this is proper event cinema.

Reel Talk Online

With all the rampant think pieces questioning the probability of every science fiction film that comes out, it's comforting to across a movie that doesn't really claim to have any of the answers.

Rated: B-

The Movie Buff

While detractors have often accused Nolan of being all brains and no heart, “Interstellar” shows that his intellect and his emotions are not at odds—they are inextricably linked.

Nolan, a fan of narrative devices and metaphors, uses this bending of time to create tension, drama and suspense across a multitude of spaces and timelines. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 8/10

Humbling and epic in scope, designed and conceptualised brilliantly, but a tad too stand-off-ish emotionally. While the father-daughter dynamic works in parts, the Cooper–Brand relationship is never given the right treatment and collapses.
