    One of Them Days

    ★★★★

    One of Them Days is a film that wasn’t even on my radar until I happened to notice it playing in theatres a few weeks ago. It’s a small comedy that hasn’t gotten nearly the attention it deserves.

Now playing in theatres in select areas of the world, Tenet is probably Nolan's most complex film to date. Normally, the complexities of his stories are what intrigues…
