Tenet released 5 years ago, and it’s only gotten better with age

Christopher Nolan, the director behind the Dark Knight trilogy and science fiction epics like Inception and Interstellar, nearly always hits a winner with his films, commercially, critically, or both. The one blemish on an otherwise impeccable resume is Tenet, the 2020 sci-fi thriller that, depending on who you ask, falls somewhere between an ace and an unforced error. Tenet is arguably either a jumbled mess or one of Nolan’s best movies — but really, it’s both.
