Tenet
Not me pausing this film every 30 minutes to read the Wikipedia plot summary so far, then reading that passage 5 times before giving up on understanding it.
Most fun performances: <PERSON> (of course), <PERSON> (thank you to <PERSON> for making him do that accent), <PERSON> (who is somehow still great playing maybe <PERSON>’s most annoyingly written female character?), and <PERSON> (who makes the incredible decision of delivering her expositional dialogue as the world’s most tired woman).
I actually do really like <PERSON>. In the right part, under the right director, he can be hugely charismatic. 217
But his character here has the absolute least going on, which is maybe supposed to be the point/some kind of commentary with him literally being called <PERSON>???? But if that was intentional, it didn’t work for me, and I don’t get it (I’m tired). With this character, written this way, you kind of need an actor with a bit more of an unpredictable edge to them, who’s going to make some bold choices, in order to make Mr. Boring As Shit not boring as shit.
Hi <PERSON> 👋 132
