(Crisp) Movie Review: TENET by FENIL SETA

Tenet is an exciting thriller with loads of thrilling and unpredictable moments
from start to finish. As expected, it’s not a simple fare. But this
flick is more complicated than Christopher Nolan’s previous films and deserves the full attention of the viewers. The first half is sure
to bewilder audiences. Thankfully, things get slightly comprehensible in
the second half. The twists and turns here are amazing. The film,
however, ends with a lot of unanswered questions. One really wishes if the
film was simpler. Perhaps, that would have enhanced the impact. A few
instances do remind one of Avengers: Endgame. One of the reasons it
worked despite its complex concept was because it was simpler and hence
appealed to all kinds of audiences. Speaking of performances, John David
Washington is apt for the part. Robert Pattinson looks stylish and
impresses with his style and understanding of the character. Elizabeth
Debicki arguably gives the best performance in the film and it’s an act
to watch out for. Kenneth Branagh scores in the villainous role. Dimple
Kapadia is fantastic and it’s a pleasure to see her essaying an
important role. Michael Caine is adorable while Clémence Poésy is
first-rate in the cameo. Ludwig Göransson's music is one of the best
parts about the film. The score enhances impact significantly. VFX is
seen to be believed. All in all, despite the minuses, Tenet deserves a
watch, that too on the big screen. In fact, it’ll be a CRIME to not see
this in cinemas, especially if you are interested to see it. And kudos
to Nolan and Warner Bros for taking the brave step of releasing it in
cinemas across the world in these times!
My rating - *** ½ out of 5!
