  • Inception

    Inception

    ★★★★★

    Positives:

    – I have to admit that Inception is my favorite movie of all time. Despite some issues like heavy exposition or Ellen Page‘s weak character. There is something about this film that heavily influenced me as a teen.
    – The cast is amazing. No surprises here. They are all perfect.

    – But the cast in general is amazing. Everyone does a great job.
    – What makes Wind River so great is that this film is…

  • Tenet

    Tenet

    ★★★★

    Negatives:

    – So I‘ve seen Tenet a second time now. I gotta say my issues with the movie didn‘t change. They got even more obvious now. And yet... I enjoyed this movie even more now. Let me explain later.
    – Tenet is more of a spectacle than a character driven movie. It depends on what you prefer but I think a great movie always needs interesting characters with comprehensible motivations. Tenet has none.
    I have no problem with the complexity…
