My friend and I went and saw Tenet in the theaters, and we both walked out wondering what the fuck happened to Christopher Nolan. He used to make incredible movies. After doing a little poking around, I came to the conclusion that the genius because those stories was his brother Jonathan who wrote the scripts. Memento and Prestige remain two of my favorite movies to this day. I don't know what happened between the two of them, but it's sad that Christopher lost his writing partner. Because now his movies are all spectacle and, if there is a story to be told, it's too boring or convoluted to follow with ease.
I appreciate you doing this write-up on both of these movies, by the way. I was starting to feel like I was missing out by not seeing either, but between what you've had to say and what Heather Heying wrote about them, I think I'll pass.
