I'm fed up with the whining about the film's length and dark premise. In this day of advanced social media, anyone could discover these things prior to going and opt instead for a 90minute romcom or anime.

The film unfolds slowly, drawing in its viewers as it peels back layers of ugliness. We watch, alternately disgusted and mesmerized, as these men do whatever they want with impunity. Molly's unending quest for justice leaves us cheering as she realizes the truth about her husband but it's a hollow victory. The final scene is sheer brilliance in its depiction of white society's view of horrible atrocities. Let's make them a spectacle!

DeNiro and DiCaprio are both superb as they always are, and they have great supporting cast members. But the real star is Lily Gladstone. Give that woman an Oscar!

Ignore all the pseudo bored sophisticates who call this sentimental lovefest nonsense. It's a real look at what it means to be family and how we deal with the things we regret as we get older. Yes, some of it falls flat and yes, some of the family scenes seem to move a little too quickly. But it's well intentioned and worth a sit through.

I have been a fan of Christopher Nolan since I saw "Memento", and Cillian Murphy is good in everything he does, so I was really looking forward to this film. What an enormous disappointment.

I have to wonder why film critics are doing an ecstatic dance over it; being Christopher Nolan does not give you an automatic pass to having your film considered great. This is the worst movie I've seen in quite a while, regardless of director.

What the film presents is about a half dozen sub stories but with no simultaneous time frame; it hops from one scene to the next with no continuity. Nowhere are we able to make an emotional connection with the characters, which is really the key to a fine film. It was simply a collage of well acted scenes about war thrown together into one huge mess.

Maybe Nolan felt he was unable to due justice to those who so courageously stood at Dunkirk without bringing in sub stories. He should have found a better film editor to attempt to tie it all together.
