Tenet Ratings & Reviews
- אסף מ1d agoIf you try to get into his world and ignore some logic this movie make your imagination and willing to explore this world idea with friends go far
- PatrikStarJune 16, 2025Nolan cooked something that tastes good, but I have no idea what I'm eating.
- ZaCkOnENovember 29, 2025Too brilliant to hate, too confusing to love. Even on rewatch
- Michael SurberNovember 4, 2025I've probably watched this film a half dozen times now and each time I catch something new. Nolan has a way of making films that pretty much demand viewers to pay close attention while watching. No casual viewing or one will definitely miss some vital clue to what is happening. I remember the very first time I watched, once it was completed I went back and watched it a second time to try and catch it all. Still working on that, there is plenty to unpack here. Overall, very high ratings from me. Christopher Nolan never lets me down and ALWAYS gets me thinking.
- StreetterOctober 19, 2025I don't know anyone that can actually explain this movie in a coherent way. Visual Effects don't need a 2.5 hour long movie.
- dyk63October 9, 2025Great conceit, fantastic cinematography as you’d expect with Christoper Nolan. But the plot is a bit bloated at times with some wooden characters (what does the scene with Micahel Caine actually add to the movie?). Watched it 3 times, and enjoyed each time.😀
- levi_v1September 25, 2025Once you catch up and start getting a grip on how intricate the movie is it's an absolute masterpiece but they started the movie off moving too fast. A movie shouldn't be something that you have to watch multiple times to completely understand. It was designed beautifully besides that fact though.
- FelipeSeptember 2, 2025Nice working, Nolan is the best
- Evis ZeniosAugust 15, 2025A masterpiece. Watch it for yourself to understand it and it will blow your mind
- MikeOctober 11, 2024Tenet is a bombastic, action-packed and visually stunning experience with typical Nolan time manipulation implemented "For me, I think this is the end of a beautiful friendship." I know Tenet is one of the most controversial films Nolan has made, but I personally really liked the experience it provided. When I watch an action film I do not find it a necessity to have a deep philosophical story, the experience that the action provides is what is most important for me with this genre. The reversed entropy added a new and unique aspect to this genre, which I appreciated. With Hoyte van Hoytema as cinematographer you can expect some great looking shots, and Tenet did not disappoint. The cinematography felt natural, but never boring. Also kudos to Hoyte van Hoytema and the rest of the crew for shooting scenes reversed. They did not digitally reverse the shot material, but they modified the cameras. The story itself felt a bit cold and I did not care that much for the characters. Nevertheless Tenet provided me with a great experience, mainly because it required to pay attention to the plot. Although I did understand almost everything on a first watch, the multiple rewatches made me look at the film in a different way which kept it interesting for me. This was especially important because the film lacks the emotional aspect I usually like in other films. As with every Nolan film, the score was impactful and beautiful. After hearing Hans Zimmer was working on Dune and Nolan went for Ludwig Göransson, I was a bit skeptical. But Ludwig Göransson did an great job in providing an impactful score that is up to Nolan’s alley. Not everyone is too keen on the audio mixing Nolan did with Tenet, but I personally had no problems hearing any dialog in an IMAX theater or at my Home Theater. Ofcourse it is not acceptable that a good audio system is required in order to hear the dialog in a film. Certain scenes, the airport scene for example, were ment to be focussed on the score instead of the dialog. This was done to let the viewer experience the fact that Neil was not focussing on what the man said either and I don’t think this is something everyone realizes. Overall I really enjoyed Tenet. Is it Nolan’s best film? No, but I still really enjoyed the action combined with the time manipulation, great cinematography and impactful score that provided this experience. Letterboxd: Mike_v_E

- sldghmmrJuly 7, 2025Maybe it's too complicated. But, visually cool.
- sti53April 7, 2025See you at the beginning, my friend. Third watching, still noticing new elements this time around!
- Spaceman JoeJuly 6, 2025UNDERRATED it’s so cool. I’m not really a fan of the plotline about the abusive husband, it wasn’t fun to watch and didn’t make much sense. But everything about the reverse stuff was pure chris Nolan magic. Feels a bit empty at times because the characters definitely need to be fleshed out. I feel like, if it was somehow able to be like a four hour movie, there could be good character work and a cool plot. But with so many ideas for this movie Nolan only went for the cool plot part, and it’s still a bit confusing. Flawed, but really, really entertaining most of the way through
