“Viewers won't be able to fully understand Tenet's dialogue, and they're likely to have the same problem in trying to understand its convoluted plot. But there isn't much there to feel, either.” –

Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story by Martin Scorsese (2019)
92%
“[Martin] Scorsese follows the lackadaisical approach of the Revue in his compilation to the film's detriment; it doesn't help that the earthy '70s film stock never quite fully captures the insouciant energy of its time.” –
