You probably won’t be disappointed if you like Nolan’s stuff, particularly Dunkirk.
It’s a different genre than a lot of what he’s done, but the acting is superb, the sound editing is going to be a guaranteed Oscar, and it’s a compelling script.
The pacing is slow, particularly in the second half, but it wasn’t a problem for me as the story itself has shifted at that point.
No fighting or bullets or action. And as long as that’s not your expectation, you’ll probably enjoy it.
And as one of the first directors to commit to shooting on IMAX format, his stuff is always going to look great in the theater, even when it’s telling a more encapsulated story.
I don’t think it’s a film for everyone, and the box office draw his name brings might lead to disappointed audience members.
But for me it’s in his top three films alongside Memento and Dark Knight (which remains my favorite, despite generally being looked down upon via an artistry standpoint as a comic book film).
