    Dad loved it, mom and sister hated it. Sometimes the holiday vibes are worth sacrificing for the sake of true cinema.

    I full on sobbed in seat F12 of the IMAX theater at AMC Lincoln Square this morning.

    This movie is an absolute masterwork in every sense, and the 70mm IMAX format made this a once-in-a-lifetime audio/visual experience that’s right up there with seeing U2 at Sphere.

    I never feel more alive than when art is able to move me the way this does.

    Chris Nolan undefeated.

    Kind of struck me on this watch how much this feels like a Scorsese joint.

    The power of montage!

    I’m not sure I’ll ever get over Ledger in this movie. Few “big” performances since have even come close to the level of immersion he got to here.

    It’s the hair, the makeup, and the posture, but what sells it most for me is that damn voice.

    How does an Australian make himself sound like that? What the hell did he even hear that set him on the course to get there? And how does he make it work so…

    Let’s take a moment to imagine that instead of Orinoco Flow, Martin spun Steely Dan’s 1972 classic ‘Dirty Work.’ Would have been pretty cool.
