The father and the spy, evenly matched.
The Verdict Director's Cut
This matchup has 13 votes. The picture may shift as more people weigh in.
A split between Interstellar and Tenet is a split between Nolan's most emotionally direct film and his most conceptually demanding one. McConaughey gives voters tears and Zimmer gives them organ swells. Washington gives voters physical precision and Nolan gives them a temporal puzzle that may not fully resolve on first viewing. That these two are tied means the conceptual-Nolan constituency is larger than expected — enough voters find Tenet's demands rewarding rather than alienating to match Interstellar's emotional pull.
