Great. Hard to follow but well executed. Didn't fix audio lip mixing. Would love a sequel.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Everything is still great about this movie except for the 75% inaudible dialogue, which is still terrible.

Inverse

Nolan prioritizes the dense audiovisual spectacle of his most narratively complex films. Beyond the intellectual, they exist primarily, and more accessibly, as experiences. Put another way: Tenet is a vibe.

Rated: 4/5

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.

Christopher Nolan’s puzzle box Bond film is one of the most original films in quite some time.

Vague Visages

With Tenet, Nolan evolves as a surrealist director, yet his writing style does not similarly advance.
