Interstellar Reviews
While detractors have often accused Nolan of being all brains and no heart, “Interstellar” shows that his intellect and his emotions are not at odds—they are inextricably linked.

Nolan, a fan of narrative devices and metaphors, uses this bending of time to create tension, drama and suspense across a multitude of spaces and timelines. [Full review in Spanish]

[A] gorgeous, heartbreaking epic.
| Original Score: 5/5 | Sep 27, 2024
Humbling and epic in scope, designed and conceptualised brilliantly, but a tad too stand-off-ish emotionally. While the father-daughter dynamic works in parts, the Cooper–Brand relationship is never given the right treatment and collapses.

This is a film where complex concepts of quantum physics and powerful human emotions are inextricably intertwined and the ghost that haunts the farmhouse has both a scientific explanation and a sense of supernatural power.

"Interstellar" pushes the limits for personal interpretation of both science and fiction. Both elements are wildly heightened to a bold scale to address the internal opposites between logic and spectacle, science and sentiment, and brains and emotion.

…uses sci-fi to go beyond into the philosophical and spiritual beyond that few other epics can reach….
| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 27, 2023
Nolan’s most openly emotional film, he fully lived up to his “Stanley Kubrick’s eye and Steven Spielberg’s heart” identity with this grand sci-fi epic about the sheer force of will that we have for those we love.

Interstellar utilizes science in a way that strives for authenticity in a science-fiction thriller and it's why we're still discussing the Christopher Nolan film today.
| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jul 18, 2023
As Robert Bresson once said, “I’d rather people feel a film before understanding it.” Interstellar moved me, and I didn’t find myself fact checking the science so I could complain on Twitter.

Staggeringly beautiful, bafflingly complex, this is proper event cinema.

The film demands quite a bit of time from its viewers too, but its big ideas and wondrous sights are ample reward.

When Mann appears to explain man, it collapses under the weight of a repeated thesis that doesn’t merit such explicit, redundant reiteration.

It’s a contemplative adventure and an emotional exploration that captivated me from its opening moments.
| Original Score: 5/5 | Aug 22, 2022
Rarely do epics of this scope and intelligence reach theaters anymore; such serious commercial filmmaking seems like a market almost exclusively maintained by Christopher Nolan.
| Original Score: 4/4 | Jun 30, 2022
While not all-together perfect, the film represents a monumental cinematic achievement that deserves to be placed high within the caliber of Nolan’s filmography.
| Original Score: 9/10 | May 27, 2022
The inherent message of the film brings hope, but it can definitely get waterlogged by intellectual speak and long-winded scenes.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 9, 2021
The film is indeed a sight to behold -- and one that demands to be seen on the biggest possible screen.
| Original Score: B | Aug 10, 2021
Nolan reaches for the stars with beautifully composed shots and some mind-bending special effects, but the dime store philosophy of the story never achieves lift off.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 2, 2021
Audiences are sure to lose their suspensions of disbelief over the nearly impenetrable climax.
| Original Score: 5/10 | Dec 4, 2020
