4/4
Inanimate objects become sentient, restless beings in the Quay universe. It's a scary, wondrous place to visit for 70 minutes. Go to Full Review
Tom Russo Boston Globe 09/24/2015
While it doesn't add up to enough to make us as fascinated as Nolan, it may open some eyes to the discipline's abstract possibilities. Go to Full Review

The biggest regret one has watching it is that it ends as soon as it gets going. Go to Full Review
Matt Prigge Metro 08/21/2015
Christopher Nolan aims for a rough approximation of the Quay style, respecting the dark even when Stephen and Timothy open the drapes. Go to Full Review

Mate P @matepolcz Oct 25 I'm not a big documentary guy, I only watched this for Christopher Nolan and I don't think I got enough of him. The camera movements don't resemble his style, but the framing was great. Especially the opening and closing shots. Any interesting lighting came from the Quay brothers. This is probably my least favourite Nolan short and again, I'm not a documentary guy, but if there's something I love in them is emotions and that was lacking in this. See more 12/29/2021 Something that's more against type for Christopher Nolan, Quay is an insightful documentary that's guaranteed to provide its titular subjects a number of newer, younger fans as they appreciate how much of a fan Nolan seems to be of their work...if they can find a DVD of it or find it online first. Seriously, this short from 2015 is really hard to track down, as if it's punishing Nolan-ites for not striking while the iron was hot back during those quieter times.
