A master stroke from a director in his prime. Inception is leagues above any live action film released in 2010.
Julian Roman - MovieWeb
As engrossing and logic-resistant as the state of dreaming it seeks to replicate, Christopher Nolan's audacious new creation demands further study to fully absorb the multiple, simultaneous stories Nolan finagles into one narrative experience.
Lisa Schwarzbaum - Entertainment Weekly
Mr. DiCaprio exercises impressive control in portraying a man on the verge of losing his grip, but Mr. Nolan has not, in the end, given Cobb a rich enough inner life to sustain the performance.
A.O. Scott - New York Times
With Inception, writer/director Christopher Nolan not only cements his status as Hollywood's most innovative filmmaker, he has created a daring genre: the surrealist heist thriller. Or, maybe he has developed the dream invasion action epic.
Claudia Puig - USA Today
Inception is that rare film that can be enjoyed on superficial and progressively deeper levels, a feat that uncannily mimics the mind-bending journey its protagonist takes.
Ann Hornaday - Washington Post
One of the best things about Nolan as a director is that he's not self-conscious. His movies unfold and fold in on themselves without the strain of labor or flash. But that lack of self-consciousness is also Nolan's downside.
Wesley Morris - Boston Globe
It's obvious that Nolan either can't articulate or doesn't believe in a distinction between living feelings and dreams -- and his barren Inception doesn't capture much of either.
Nick Pinkerton - Village Voice
The ambition on display is so huge, and the filmmaking so intelligent, you'll emerge feeling as if you've just watched an entire season of the greatest sci-fi series never made.
Elizabeth Weitzman - New York Daily News
By convoluting the various planes of experience, by overlapping and obscuring ostensible realities and ostensible dreams, Mr. Nolan deprives us the opportunity of investing emotionally in any of it.
John Anderson - Wall Street Journal
It's only the latest indication that Christopher Nolan might be the slyest narrative tactician making movies today.
Amy Biancolli - Houston Chronicle
I found myself admiring the movie's stubborn adherence to its own universe and logic.
Chris Vognar - Dallas Morning News
Inception is a boldly constructed wonder with plenty of -- as one character describes it -- "paradoxical architecture."
Lisa Kennedy - Denver Post
t has all of Nolan's strengths, and some of his weaknesses, and it is undeniably his. It is a $160 million action film about loss and regret, and it is exciting in part because of its flaws.
James Rocchi - MSN Movies
An astonishment, an engineering feat, and, finally, a folly.
David Denby - New Yorker
It's said that Christopher Nolan spent ten years writing his screenplay for Inception. That must have involved prodigious concentration, like playing blindfold chess while walking a tight-wire.
Roger Ebert - Chicago Sun-Times
It's gratifying to experience a summer movie with large visual ambitions and with nothing more or less on its mind than (as Shakespeare said) a dream that hath no bottom.
Michael Phillips - Chicago Tribune
Inception delivers dazzling special effects and a boatload of stars, but it sags and eventually buckles under the weight of its complicated premise.
J. R. Jones - Chicago Reader
The dream logic of Inception -- which deals, like Nolan's far more intriguing Memento, with the architecture of memory and the nature of reality -- is stymied by a clunking script, crammed with expository exchanges and urgent blather.
Steven Rea - Philadelphia Inquirer
Nolan's film is surely the most ambitious psychological thriller ever, and yet also the most personal. His baroque imagination makes most directors' efforts look like beach-pail sand castles alongside Mad King Ludwig's Neuschwanstein Castle.
Colin Covert - Minneapolis Star Tribune
With its James Bond-on-acid action scenes and puzzle-within-a-maze-within-a-puzzle mind games, Inception is certainly the most daring and original blockbuster of the year, as well as a visual tour de force. If it only had a heart.
Tom Long - Detroit News
Inception is either a great, mind-bending movie or one big swindle. Let's go with the former.
Bill Goodykoontz - Arizona Republic
None of this prattling drivel adds up to one iota of cogent or convincing logic. You never know who anyone is, what their goals are, who they work for or what they're doing.
Rex Reed - New York Observer
If movies are shared dreams, then Christopher Nolan is surely one of Hollywood's most inventive dreamers, given the evidence of his commandingly clever Inception.
Justin Chang - Variety
A sublime brain-twister of a movie that plays out so intricately on so many levels simultaneously that a bathroom break comes at your own peril.
Lou Lumenick - New York Post
Inception is an elegant, portentous ride, though I'm not sure Nolan is any closer to visualizing the real (dream) deal than Hitchcock was.
Roger Moore - Orlando Sentinel
At first, Inception left me cold, feeling as if I'd just eavesdropped on somebody's bad acid trip. Now I find I can't get the film out of my mind, which is really the whole point of it, isn't it?
Peter Howell - Toronto Star
It's an affecting movie; quite a piece of art in a world of also-rans and marketing plans.
Laremy Legel - Film.com
Nolan is a thinker, all right, a very busy explorer of mind functions, but capable merely of diagrams when it comes to the heart and soul.
Todd McCarthy - indieWIRE
Nobody can deny that Christopher Nolan's "Inception" is a thinking man's blockbuster.
Eric Kohn - indieWIRE
Pretty good, not bad, but brilliant it surely ain't.
Rick Groen - Globe and Mail
Inception may have been directed by Christopher Nolan, but Nolan's dreams are apparently directed by Michael Bay.
Andrew O'Hehir - Salon.com
At the end of Inception, I hadn't lived through the grueling emotional journey Nolan seemed to think I had, but I'd seen a bunch of cool images and admired some technically ambitious feats of filmmaking.
Dana Stevens - Slate
All it asks of viewers is that they do something rare: engage the intellect.
James Berardinelli - ReelViews
A devilishly complicated, fiendishly enjoyable sci-fi voyage across a dreamscape that is thoroughly compelling.
Kirk Honeycutt - Hollywood Reporter
One of the year's best films, one that will surely get even better upon repeated viewings.
Christy Lemire - Associated Press
The idea of moviegoing as communal dreaming is a century old. With Inception, viewers have a chance to see that notion get a state-of-the-art update. Take that chance: dream along with Christopher Nolan.
Richard Corliss - TIME Magazine
In this wildly ingenious chess game, grandmaster Nolan plants ideas in our heads that disturb and dazzle. The result is a knockout. But be warned: Inception dreams big.
Peter Travers - Rolling Stone
One of the most intoxicating, challenging and beautiful movies of the 21st century, deserving of multiple Oscar nominations.
Richard Roeper - Richard Roeper.com
This is a popular entertainment with a knockout punch so intense and unnerving it'll have you worrying if it's safe to close your eyes at night.
Kenneth Turan - Los Angeles Times
Inception is the kind of information-packed movie that creates the painful/pleasurable sensation that there's no time to think.
Charlotte O'Sullivan - This is London
This is tremendous, full-throttle filmmaking.
Norman Wilner - NOW Toronto
Nolan is so eager to make the movie work as an action blockbuster that he sacrifices storytelling to set pieces. Still, what set pieces.
Margot Harrison - Seven Days
Inception nails you to your seat for two of the best hours of cinema you'll see this, or any, year and there's never a dull moment.
Directors have been trying to replicate the world of dreams since the beginning of cinema... With his ingeniously inventive psychological thriller Inception, Christopher Nolan stakes his claim on this ambitious cinematic territory.
Perry Seibert - TV Guide's Movie Guide
Like Memento, the most intellectually demanding of Nolan's previous films, Inception demands and rewards our total attention as well as our emotional engagement.
Philip French - Observer [UK]
Inception isn't a dud but nor is it a masterpiece. It's like a very ambitious, overlong potboiler: visually beautiful, ingenious in parts and dragging in others.
Jenny McCartney - Daily Telegraph
The result is something almost as thrilling to contemplate as it is to watch.
Scott Renshaw - Salt Lake City Weekly
Inception is as lucid and heartfelt as summer blockbusters get these days.
Nick Hasted
It's an exceptional effort, so dense, it practically demands a second viewing to suss out whether the film is just a bunch of high-concept psychobabbled hooey or a profound sci-fi excursion into the human psyche. I'm banking on the latter.
John Serba - MLive.com
Inception is as exhilarating as any movie we'll see this summer -- and twice as exhausting.
- Willamette Week
Nolan does here for the heist film what he did for the comic book movie in his 2008 hit The Dark Knight. He layers a fantasy premise with provocative ideas and serious intent.
Randall King
The only thing for sure is that this Inception was nothing but a stratagem, a cheap trick, if you will. Leading me to wonder: Where are the Dream Police when you need 'em?
Al Alexander - The Patriot Ledger
I'm looking forward to seeing Inception again.
Edward Johnson-Ott - NUVO Newsweekly
What's exciting about the movie has nothing to do with content, or a coherent style; it has to do with watching a master crafts person conjure tricks with the best the modern movie tool box has to offer.
Peter Galvin - sbs.com.au
Inception is a grown-up thriller ride through the dreamscapes of the mind, with Leonardo DiCaprio in the lead. The movie is a sign that Hollywood retains some intellectual oomph.
Kate Muir - Times [UK]
Don't be surprised if your brain hurts. In a good kind of way.
Dann Gire
We can only marvel at what writer-director Nolan has thought up and executed so well. But he doesn't know when to stop. Every level leads to another level.
Leonard Maltin - Leonard Maltin's Picks
DiCaprio manages to put that fever(ed) dream behind him to tap a well of melancholy yearning that keeps Inception anchored.
Carol Cling - Las Vegas Review-Journal
A heist film of thrilling, almost delirious complexity.
Rafer Guzman - Newsday
This is finally a big-budget film where the money feels well spent.
Beth Wilson - Trespass
The real cause of wonder, though, is why Nolan should have embraced technocratic complexity in the service of such a puny story.
Anthony Quinn - Independent
Even as you tick off the film's overload of references, though -- a Matrix here, a James Bond there -- the amazing effects and Cobb's quest carry you along.
Caryn James - Newsweek
A spectacular fantasy thriller based on Nolan's own original screenplay, Inception is the smartest CGI head-trip since The Matrix.
Tom Charity - CNN.com
Nolan makes his far-fetched (and even occasionally ridiculous) dialogue and plotting utterly, absolutely believable within the film's finely structured framework, while never losing his grip on the dense, multi-layered narrative.
Erin Free - FILMINK (Australia)
It's one of the most beautiful, well written, and fully realized high dollar films of the last five years. Inception, is close to perfection.
- Film School Rejects
Inception is a complicated film, but it follows its own logic so seriously and insidiously that we are completely drawn into its point of view.
Chris Knight - National Post
It's just grade-A filmmaking.
Stephen Whitty - Newark Star-Ledger
Inception is dark, thrilling and bold, and most importantly, it will reach well beyond your highest expectations and wildest dreams.
- The Vine
Inception is as wildly visionary as it is smart. If only all "big" movies could be this haunting. We can dream, can't we?
Stephen Rebello - Playboy Online
Mercifully, Inception is short on "is-this-a-dream-or-is-this-reality" pseudo-philosophizing, allowing the near-Kubrickian visual stimuli to drive the exposition and action. And it works.
- Paste Magazine
Invention runs lower once we're on those snowy slopes, and the hard narrative punch keeps disintegrating into a floating cloud of pixels. But what a display they make.
Peter Bradshaw
The central concept affords the director some splendid opportunities for visual chutzpah.
Luke Buckmaster - Crikey
If it's the dreamer whose subconscious fills in the details, as the film claims, why the absence of silliness, sex, horror and general abandon?
Ryan Gilbey - New Statesman
The film's imaginative freefall is ruinously anchored to a bogus sense of deep feeling.
Jonathan Romney - Independent on Sunday
In its final hour, Inception becomes more conventional and less imaginative. The rules of the dreamworld still frame the action, but they provide fewer surprises, for the team or the audience.
John Hazelton - Screen International
Inception is the best film of the year and one of the best films of the decade, this is Nolan's masterpiece and it is perfect in every regard.
Matt Joseph - We Got This Covered
Nolan's eyes here were a little too big for his stomach.
Will Leitch - Deadspin
A smart and inventive thriller, this drama is one of the year's best movies.
John Hanlon - Big Hollywood
Nolan has cemented himself among the great filmmakers of our time, not only with this film, but with most of his other works as well.
Jeff Beck - Examiner.com
Despite its two- and a half-hour length, it flies by and just like a great dream you don't want to wake up from, even after the end credits start, you'll desperately crave five more minutes.
Jeffrey Lyles - Lyles' Movie Files
Ambitious, sure, but ultimately too far-fetched for its own good.
Dan Jardine - Cinemania
Rangy and intellectually muscular, Inception is flawed in the ways that only a brilliant, overreaching work can be.
Brent Simon - Shared Darkness
The technical virtuosity pouring from every frame is astounding.
Greg Maki - Star-Democrat (Easton, MD)
It's intentionally, thrillingly, disorienting.
Dave White - Movies.com
Taken at theatrical value, director/writer Christopher Nolan's tale of purposeful memory-travel is a fun and exciting trip into the creative subconscious.
S. James Wegg - JWR
An excellent example of a great Summer Blockbuster.
Scott Nash - Three Movie Buffs
It is the film by which to measure the density of all others.
Jordan Hiller - Bangitout.com
What is the point of having an imagination, I ask you, if the only thing that can be imagined is mayhem, perpetrated without regard for even the appearance of human life?
Stuart Klawans - The Nation
A brain-twister to be sure. But the fact that the plot demands attention only adds to the exhilaration. This is a story about dreams that requires the audience to stay awake.
Jason Best - Movie Talk
It's a bold, stunning feature of impossible technical virtuosity. It also has the tendency to be about as emotionally stimulating as a college lecture.
Brian Orndorf - BrianOrndorf.com
This is architecture as cinema, on every level: Narrative, conceptual, symbolic, visual...
Sean Axmaker - Parallax View
Christopher Nolan has created a Lynchian fantasy set in the mind that is devastating in its originality and innovation...
Felix Vasquez Jr. - Cinema Crazed
...there's no denying those special effects. They are spectacular and creative in the extreme.
John J. Puccio - Movie Metropolis
The reality isn't quite as enthralling as one would hope.
Richard Knight - Knight at the Movies
The action set pieces are deliriously spectacular; one involving a gravity-impaired Gordon-Levitt in an ever-rotating hallway is wondrous to behold.
Simon Miraudo - Quickflix
A trippy, complex, thrill-driven action-adventure that demands (and rewards) repeat viewings.
R. L. Shaffer - IGN DVD
Un thriller inteligente aunque algo menos complejo de lo que aparenta, que cae en varios excesos narrativos y visuales. Probablemente la pelicula mas ambiciosa de Nolan hasta la fecha.
Enrique Buchichio - Uruguay Total
See it more than once, you'll see something different every time.
Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel - 3BlackChicks Review
I'm somewhat disappointed that Nolan didn't make a different movie, I heartily enjoyed the one he did make.
Michael W. Phillips, Jr. - Goatdog's Movies
Nuevamente Nolan nos sorprende con un ejercicio inteligente y vibrante, con un DiCaprio maduro y un cast perfecto. La cinta del ano para Hollywood.
Luis Martinez - Cinenganos
Nolan gledateljima prua zabavu za osjetila i intelekt na način koji se čini iznad mogućnosti najvećeg broja njegovih kolega
Dragan Antulov - rec.arts.movies.reviews
full review at Movies for the Masses
Joseph Proimakis - Movies for the Masses
Conceptually alluring but laborious and visionless
Fernando F. Croce - CinePassion
A classic-in-waiting that will keep you guessing and thinking while you pick your jaw up off the floor.
Matt Neal - The Standard
Nolan's script keeps the parallel narrative threads concise, and through gorgeous cinematography by Wally Pfister and sharp editing by Lee Smith.
Sean Means - Salt Lake Tribune
Is the movie over-thought? Sometimes, yes. But challenging material is rarely as satisfying as in this blockbuster from one of the dream factory's most gifted artisans.
Michael Smith - Tulsa World
A marvelous, highly enjoyable film that continues Nolan's climb toward the very top of the list of the best filmmakers working today.
Stephen Silver - The Trend
Intelligent and imaginative Inception is eye bending and mind bending in equal measures.
Giles Hardie - Sydney Morning Herald
It's too easy to see not only that Mal is trouble, but also that Dom will walk right into that trouble she is.
Michael Abernethy - PopMatters
Uma ficcao cientifica que faz jus aos melhores do genero, apresentando-nos a conceitos intrigantes e dedicando-se, entao, a explora-los ate suas consequencias mais extremas.
Pablo Villaca - Cinema em Cena
Inception, which has been talked up to crazy heights and showcases the best, as well as the most problematic, aspects of Nolan's directorial chops.
Gabe Leibowitz - eCinemaCenter.com
If you think "Lost" was complicated, let's just say it's kitten chow when compared to this.
Christopher Smith - Bangor Daily News (Maine)
Inception made my brain hurt. And it hurt in the most wonderful way.
Tim Martain - The Mercury
Must-see? Absolutely. But let's not get carried away. Primer was every bit as challenging but populated with characters who seemed real and spoke like human beings.
Jeffrey Overstreet - Christianity Today
Especially recommended for diehard film lovers, this cinematic archaeological dig will interest anyone fascinated by one of filmdom's great might-have-beens.
David Noh - Film Journal International
Brain, meet spasm. Inception is the cleverest, most original use of a Blockbuster budget we've seen in years. Shame some of the characters are a bit underdeveloped.
Marc Fennell - Triple j
Christopher Nolan proves himself as both a man of action and ideas, as he delves into the male psyche and enriches the soul in Inception.
Matthew Pejkovic - Matt's Movie Reviews
Bob Grimm - Reno News and Review
Visually stunning Inception trips on its own cleverness, sacrificing character development in the pursuit of ingenuity. One can forgive its hubris and give it credit for being a thinking man's action movie.
Diva Velez - TheDivaReview.com
Nolan has spun an elegantly cerebral story that is primal, compelling, and as visually disconcerting as it is completely captivating
Andrea Chase - Killer Movie Reviews
This is a long film with a lot of fiery explosions, intelligent ideas, sputtering machine guns, and violent car crashes.
Mark R. Leeper - rec.arts.movies.reviews
The best, most believable entry to date in an inherently imaginative genre. Excellent cast.
Fr. Chris Carpenter - Movie Dearest
An at-times dizzying Mobius strip of a sci-fi thriller, it's both a tremendously challenging and tremendously rewarding movie, the type that will have audiences talking -- and debating -- long after the credits roll.
Mike Scott - Times-Picayune
Inception a dynamic, moving mind-bender.
Charles Koplinski - Illinois Times
A heist movie about manipulating dreams, Inception could well be the summer's smartest film -- and surely is the one you'll fight about most.
- People Magazine
A giant win for audiences and the degree to which filmmakers can respect their intelligence.
Steve Newall - Flicks.co.nz
Inception may be the most intelligent action film you will ever see.
Matthew Toomey - ABC Radio Brisbane
The film has a dark, sad emotional puzzle at its core, and the suspense of this held me as much as the planning of the ultimate caper. DiCaprio and Cotillard between them resonate grief.
Julie Rigg - MovieTime, ABC Radio National
Nolan repousse les limites de son cinema pour nous offrir - une fois de plus - son oeuvre la plus dense et stimulante a ce jour.
Jean-Francois Vandeuren - Panorama
This metaphysical 'Mission: Imposible' is motivated by a challenge as great as that facing its heroes: It's Nolan's attempt to crack the Great Film vault. Mission accomplished? Yes -- and more crucially -- no.
John Beifuss - Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
For all of its capacity to bewilder and befuddle, Inception still must be endorsed purely on the strength of its ambition, and the awesome heights to which it sometimes soars.
Leigh Paatsch - Herald Sun (Australia)
Nolan is having the time of his life in his own personal playground and, for all its heavy technical and narrative machinery, Inception remains one of his lightest films.
Jake Wilson - The Age (Australia)
It is irritating for an hour, being so gloomily lit that you need fog lights, then it opens up into a marvellously inventive, somewhat silly but enjoyable heist movie, with a good cast doing things I doubt even they could explain.
Paul Byrnes - Sydney Morning Herald
It's just streets ahead of anything I've seen in a long time.
Margaret Pomeranz - At the Movies (Australia)
One of those films, like Blade Runner or 2001 A Space Odyssey, that will repay many viewings in order to grasp all the intricate details of these multi-layered trips into the dreams and nightmares of the central characters.
David Stratton - At the Movies (Australia)
[Nolan] has planted the idea that his film is the most brilliant, original and smart film in years. And everyone thinks they realized this on their own.
Kevin Carr - 7M Pictures
And [Nolan] said, "let there be originality", and there was originality. He called it Inception and audiences and critics alike saw that it was good.
Anders Wotzke - Moviedex
Even its flaws are brilliant -- and without its flaws and a few evidences of self-mocking humor, I'm not sure I'd like it nearly as well as I do.
Ken Hanke - Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Nolan clearly has great fun with the action stuff - zero gravity fights in a hotel corridor, an assault on an artic fortress and a car chase through a dreamed city are all cracking - and it all looks as spectacular as you'd hope.
Michael Bonner - Uncut Magazine [UK]
I thought this film was going to be a real brain-twister like "Memento" or "The Prestige," but "Inception" is not all that complicated, which is helpful, given all those special game-type rules you have to keep track of.
Robert Roten - Laramie Movie Scope
Inception is a diverting gambit, but you might want to check your watch a few times to see when the dreams are going to be over.
Tony Macklin - tonymacklin.net
The film's promise is watered down in the execution by a sense of it being a novelty, a plaything for Nolan to bamboozle his audience with his clever mind trick
Andrew L. Urban - Urban Cinefile
A scintillating exploration of dreams, reality and the fine line that divides them, Inception toys with our minds on a massive scale, sending us on a dizzying trip which makes all our preconceptions spin relentlessly
Louise Keller - Urban Cinefile
Indeed, Hollywood's obsession with 3D has extended to the storytelling process, and with Inception, it also reminds us that story and characterization still rule in the land of a thousand digital vistas.
Patrick Kolan - IGN Movies AU
A well-constructed, narratively audacious blockbuster released at a time when such things are in depressingly short supply.
Alistair Harkness - Scotsman
A patently-preposterous, endlessly-elliptical mindbender that's worth the investment just to be able to say you sat through it, even if you can't follow all of its meandering machinations. It's that hip!
Kam Williams - TheLoop21.com
Nolan borrows from classic heist and caper movies to design the clockwork tension but this particular clock is more like Dali's dripping watch.
Brian Holcomb - Kinetofilm
Cinematically, this is a keeper, a fireworks grand finale that goes on flashing and booming for two hours and twenty-eight minutes. But, oh, for some genuine heart.
Rob Gonsalves - eFilmCritic.com
Once in the dreamspace, Nolan's command of multi-layered storytelling is nothing short of astounding.
Ian Buckwalter - DCist
the balance of philosophical ideas and narrative tension are more than enough to keep the film not just engaging, but utterly riveting for its entire duration
James Kendrick - Q Network Film Desk
Inception is the exception to a boring summer!
Jolene Mendez - Entertainment Spectrum
Despite the fact that some details of the labyrinthine plot are simply too obscure to comprehend on a first viewing, Nolan sells the emotion -- and the consequences -- visually.
Eric Melin - Scene-Stealers.com
Cinema is rarely this engaging on so many levels.
Thomas Caldwell - Cinema Autopsy
This is the kind of film studios need to green light more often... all orchestrated by the crafting hand of a director who knows what he wants and makes it happen.
Kevin A. Ranson - MovieCrypt.com
Preposterous, but so ingeniously done that it's an entertaining ride.
Tony Medley - Tolucan Times
Just like a spinning top, you keep hoping Christopher Nolan's movie will last a little bit longer.
Jeff Bayer - The Scorecard Review
It's heartening to see that the quirky sensibility Nolan brought to 'Memento' has never left him.
Dan Lybarger - eFilmCritic.com
It's bold. It's exciting. It makes you think. It engages. It impresses. It frustrates. And it does it all a helluva lot better than Shutter Island.
Gina Carbone - Seacoast Newspapers (NH/Maine)
The first masterpiece of 2010. A perfect blend of performance, story, music and effects.
Wesley Lovell - Cinema Sight
A dream within a dream.
Linda Cook - Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)
The complexity of the plot works to make the film a must see, but it also ends up frustrating the audience because it all can't be figured out on the first viewing
Jackie K. Cooper - jackiekcooper.com
...one of the strongest science-fiction concepts to come along in some time...
Rubin Safaya - Cinemalogue.com
I suspect even repeat viewings won't be enough to nail this one down: Like 2001, it's both knotty enough and ambiguous enough to lead to conflicting opinions. Besides, our dreams are open to different interpretations, so why not some of our films as well?
Matt Brunson - Creative Loafing
The ending will leave you debating in that glass half-full, half-empty kind of way. Let's just say, it's a movie that needs to be seen more than once.
Kit Bowen - The Movie Kit
Only someone who never saw (or appreciated) Dark City would be able to call it visionary.
Rob Humanick - Projection Booth
This is not only the best movie ever made about dreams, it is also one of the best films of 2010, and certainly one of the most entertaining pictures I've seen in a decade.
Mike McGranaghan - Aisle Seat
It is a fascinating visual feast, The Matrix with heart and soul, a rollercoaster ride into layers of the subconscious mind that challenges our ability to keep up.
Lori Hoffman - Atlantic City Weekly
What it is (an action-heavy heist movie with several mind-blowing setpieces) is an entirely pleasant substitute for what it isn't (a psychologically complex investigation into dream logic).
Tim Brayton - Antagony & Ecstasy
After a couple of days' reflection, while I still would happily recommend the film as one of the best blockbusters I've seen this year, the flaws of the movie became increasingly apparent.
Alex Fitch - Electric Sheep
Nolan hypnotizes us with his elegant dreamscapes, but uses them to draw attention back to the figures at the heart of it all.
Rob Vaux - Mania.com
If you recall the scene in Dahmer (2002) where Jeremy Renner as the deranged killer drills holes into his victims' heads, you'll know what watching this Freudian claptrap of a thriller is like.
Brandon Judell - CultureCatch
This is a movie people will go see and then argue about and then, very likely, go see again. It is instantly the must-see film of the summer.
Daniel M. Kimmel - New England Movies Weekly
Inception is an intense, complex story, but it's always coherent, imaginative, and entertaining.
Jeffrey M. Anderson - Common Sense Media
Inception, the latest in Nolan's long list of awe-inspiring films, proves to be his most ambitious and satisfying project to date.
Adam Tobias - Watertown Daily Times
It makes 'The Matrix' look like a Dick & Jane book.
Widgett Walls - Needcoffee.com
By turns overpowering, spectacular and truly awe-inspiring. Nolan has just taken it to the next level.
Matt Bochenski - Little White Lies
More time wasting than time bending, Inception is a shoot 'em up masquerading as a thinking person's sci-fi film.
Steve Rhodes - Internet Reviews
The good news is, I'm not going to give away any of the mind-bending twists at the center of Inception. The bad news is, that's because there aren't any.
Brian Juergens - CampBlood.org
It requires more concentration to just figure out what's going on than most summer blockbusters do.
Dennis Schwartz - Ozus' World Movie Reviews
You know how much of a cheat it is when a movie concludes with a character waking up and realizing it was all a dream? Inception goes another way: Its characters wake up from their dreams to figure out what's real.
Chris Hewitt (St. Paul) - St. Paul Pioneer Press
This sophisticated and uniquely clever cinematic concoction is a refreshing change from the usual lineup of mindless summer fare. The acting and dialogue take a back seat to the mind-blowing action that is...
Keith Cohen - Entertainment Spectrum
Like his protagonist, Nolan excels as an implanter of subversive ideas. This time, alas, he didn't dig quite deep enough for them to take root.
Christopher Orr - The Atlantic
This is a drama built around ideas and images; it is a cinematic maze that Nolan makes his audience traverse in order to follow, understand and appreciate his world.
Bob Bloom - Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)
The most audacious and multifaceted Hollywood entertainment for grown-ups I've seen in years.
Steven D. Greydanus - Christianity Today
DiCaprio and co. manipulate thematic fetishes like a dream of Mission Impossible envisioned by Phillip K. Dick
Jeff Meyers - Metro Times (Detroit, MI)
Inception is so slow and so confusing that you may actually fall asleep. Or wish you were really dreaming and could wake up and dream another movie.
Gary Wolcott - Tri-City Herald
It's hard to connect with a movie when it tries so hard to fool you; is this a dream, is it not, is it a dream within a dream? Who cares? Just commit to something and get on with it. A crushing bore.
Michelle Alexandria - Eclipse Magazine
It wins points for trying to convey difficult, ambitious themes, and even more points for actually succeeding.
Eric D. Snider - Cinematical
"Inception" is a sci-fi psychological thriller that doesn't always know when to coast or how to take emotional advantage of its over-the-top visual effects.
Cole Smithey - ColeSmithey.com
Mixes arcane talk about dreams with traditional action sequences resulting in strange and ineffective hybrid.
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat - Spirituality and Practice
Inception is a nightmare for audiences looking for coherent fiction.
Christian Toto - What Would Toto Watch?
Nolan is a very clever fellow, no argument there. He's skilled at juggling big ideas and making us think. Now if he can just make us feel.
Robert W. Butler - Kansas City Star
DiCaprio is his usual terrific self. He is the Paul Newman of this generation.
Jeanne Kaplan - Kaplan vs. Kaplan
A groundbreaking, intriguing, exhilarating and brilliant sci-fi thriller that's destined to become a timeless classic. Mark my words: It will be remembered for years to come.
Avi Offer - NYC Movie Guru
The final half-hour alone is a miracle of clockwork-precise showmanship.
Kevin Williamson - Jam! Movies
Visually spectacular, without resorting to 3-D.
David Kaplan - Kaplan vs. Kaplan
Who are we to complain when a filmmaker lets his thoughts get the better of him, especially when most summer blockbusters aren't thinking at all.
Radheyan Simonpillai - AskMen.com
This seems to be the year of taking visuals in movies up a notch. Cameron did it with 'Avatar,' Nolan does it with 'Inception.'
Steve Crum - Video-Reviewmaster.com
Are they handing out joints at the box office for this?
Kurt Loder - MTV
Nolan has basically done the impossible. He's taken $200 million and, instead of coming up with a highly generic product, he's made a real movie.
Adam Lippe - Examiner.com
The movie is almost hypnotic -- a mind-bending experience laced with palpable tension and fueled with drama. Sweet dreams.
Tyler Hanley - Palo Alto Weekly
Nolan, like Cobb, is an assiduous extractor, and he knows how to wow audiences. But scaling big and thinking big are not the same thing. And dark, just because it's dark, isn't more artistic than light.
Peter Rainer - Christian Science Monitor
There are plenty of reasons to like Inception, whether you found it obvious or impenetrable. You'll wish you could dream as lucidly as this, but be grateful here you have Nolan as your tour guide.
Karina Montgomery - Cinerina
There are so many dreams within dreams, I thought I might've been dreaming. 'Inception' isn't a bad movie, but I could never sit through it again. It's up to the viewer to decide whether or not they will ride it out with Prince Valium.
Clay Cane - BET.com
Inception is elegantly realised. DiCaprio powerfully embodies a tortured soul while Gordon-Levitt has all the fun in the best action sequence.
Catherine Jones - Liverpool Echo
Nolan's tale is not only a trip through mental labyrinths but a reminder that memories may cripple us, unless we learn to let them go.
Lawrence Toppman - Charlotte Observer
In its perfection Inception is unsurprising - it's about what I expected, and that's good enough.
Staci Layne Wilson - Horror.com
A what's on your mind invasive sci-fi noir specializing in homo sapien interior decorating, that operates at a level way beyond viewer comprehension. Though this messing with your head nap time thriller boasts intermittent mind bending imagery.
Prairie Miller - NewsBlaze
If the career of Christopher Nolan is any indication, we've entered an era in which movies can no longer be great. They can only be awesome, which isn't nearly the same thing.
Stephanie Zacharek - Movieline
The first of [Nolan's] films that I would call flat-out fun.
Jeffrey Chen - ReelTalk Movie Reviews
An intellectualized action flick or an action-packed intellectual film? The answer, of course, is that it's both.
Kevin N. Laforest - Montreal Film Journal
Inception is one of the most original, thought-provoking, intense, mind-blowing pieces of entertainment I have ever seen. I would pay money to watch people's reactions.
Kevin McCarthy - BDK Reviews
Meanwhile, explanations are offered, buildings collapse on themselves, DiCaprio frets moodily, henchmen fall over and that white van keeps falling off that bridge ... It's all very beautiful, and mostly very empty.
Matt Soergel - Florida Times-Union
More filmmakers need to abandon the Ikea guide to making Hollywood movies (Step 73: Keep hammering cliche) and close their eyes for a little nap.
Mike Ward - Richmond.com
..it all becomes a bit too much, a little exhausting, even a little boring...gets by on its Escher-esque visuals which Nolan tries to give more import to by cranking Hans Zimmer's doom laden, fog horn score.
Laura Clifford - Reeling Reviews
Does the long-anticipated Christopher Nolan film Inception deliver what we've been hoping for? In a word: Yes.
Vic Holtreman - ScreenRant
Like any traditional narrative, it starts at point A and ends at point B. It just goes backward through the alphabet to get there.
Duane Dudek - Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
Emotional intimacy is lacking, with some characters functioning merely as devices to explain an increasingly complicated scenario, but there's no doubt that Nolan knows how to craft an enthralling brainteaser.
Stella Papamichael - Radio Times
unlike anything you've seen
Jason Morgan - Filmcritic.com
Whether [DiCaprio] confronts lost love or the dream world crumbles in a glorious symphony of exploding fruit and buildings, Inception is beautiful, high-class chaos.
Matt Pais - Metromix.com
One way to salvage some fun with this blunderbuss would be to fall asleep while watching and dream up a better movie yourself. Try it. You'll avoid a headache.
Kelly Vance - East Bay Express
Inception is often thrilling to watch, but there's something hollow at its center.
Ethan Alter - NYC Film Critic
A rather juvenile brain-teaser lacking an effective emotional core but bursting with cool visuals. Unlike the most powerful dreams it doesn't stick with you.
Frank Swietek - One Guy's Opinion
After thinking it'd take "a couple months" to ink, director Christopher Nolan took eight years to painstakingly write the "Inception" script. And you can tell. It's his first pure masterpiece.
Adam Fendelman - HollywoodChicago.com
As the dreams build upon each other and Cobb's past creeps through, Nolan has us just where he wants us -- deliriously lost in a world where dreams and reality are indecipherable, and curious enough to stand in line for another showing.
Alison Gang - San Diego Union-Tribune
The less you know going in, the better you will appreciate the unfolding, doubling-back, and overall mind-bending stories within stories in one of the year's best films.
Nell Minow - Beliefnet
The fact that it manages to be both unmissable and maddening doesn't kill the immediate buzz, since half the film's thrills consist of simply keeping up with it.
Tim Robey - Daily Telegraph
(S)tories should show, not tell, and Nolan keeps telling us that he can't tell this story.
Matthew Sorrento - Bright Lights Film Journal
Nolan dares the viewer to jump into his multi-layered world, his own maze, and dedicated moviegoers will not be able to resist - even for a second, third, or fourth time.
Bill Clark - FromTheBalcony
Nolan's concept is as irresistible as its execution.
Tricia Olszewski - Washington City Paper
It is that rarest of beasts: a slippery, cerebral summer blockbuster that slaloms from illusion to reality and back again and leaves its viewer bewitched, bothered and bewildered.
Xan Brooks
This is what movies can be like if you try.
Willie Waffle - WaffleMovies.com
In this smart sci-fi puzzle box, director Christopher Nolan transports the audience to a dreamscape that begins with the familiar and then takes a radical, imaginative leap.
Thelma Adams - Us Weekly
The first of many major achievements in this memorable and haunting film is to render other people's dreams - not the most interesting of topics normally - absolutely riveting.
James O'Brien - Daily Mail [UK]
Worth every penny spent in the making, and worth every dollar forked over for a ticket, Inception may just be the best movie of 2010.
Rebecca Murray - About.com
It was a brave move to follow The Dark Knight, one of the biggest hits of all time, with something so incredibly complex, but Nolan can relax -- it's worked like a dream.
Rich Phippen - Sky Movies
The movies have produced one of their rare works of great art, disguised as an action thriller -- a thoughtful and thought-provoking meditation disguised as a con game carried out in a dream ... within a dream ... within a dream.
Jim Lane - Sacramento News & Review
Inception is the blockbuster we've all been thirsting for, a sleek brain-twister that makes the other 2010 mainstream releases look puny, drab and empty-headed in comparison.
Randy Myers - San Jose Mercury News
Like a dream, Nolan's film fades swiftly in the light -- but while it lasts, it feels like there's nothing more important to decipher.
Dave Calhoun - Time Out
In a decade dominated by the three dreaded Rs of remakes, reimaginings and reboots comes a truly original blockbuster.
David Edwards - Daily Mirror [UK]
A smartly scripted, big-budget action/heist movie of the sort you'd expect from the director of The Dark Knight.
Luke Y. Thompson - E! Online
Writer-director Christopher Nolan swims into the swirly sea of the subconscious in this beautiful, blindingly clever film.
Clint O'Connor - Cleveland Plain Dealer
Surely the most intellectually and viscerally engaging action film in years.
Kimberley Jones - Austin Chronicle
Wrapped up in the logistics of various dreamscapes and the technical details of dream sharing and inception, the picture all but abandons its most essential thread.
Robert Levin - Critic's Notebook
Inception is an extraordinarily ambitious work. It's a bit overlong at 148 minutes, but I couldn't tell you what I would have cut out of it.
Tim Grierson - The Simon
The most intelligent and visually stunning film of the year. Literally mind-bending.
Alex Zane - Sun Online
Leonardo DiCaprio's new thriller is as good as live action cinema gets...and you're about to have some very deep dreams to prove it.
Graham Young - Birmingham Post
A heist picture at heart, the dream-world-set thriller harkens back to the reality-shifting days of "The Matrix," but edges toward intelligence in all of the places the Wachowski brothers opted for visceral popcorn thrills.
Sean O'Connell - Hollywood News
A conceptual coup that, in dealing with the shifting logic and fractured reality of dreams, frees itself from the need to satisfy any conventions, formulae or expectations.
Neil Smith - Total Film
An imposing, prismatic achievement, and strongly resistant to an insta-reaction; when it's over, Nolan still seems a few steps ahead of us.
Scott Tobias - AV Club
Inception becomes its own nightmare by trying to be "too" smart.
Diana Saenger - ReviewExpress.com
Arguably the best film of the summer and most likely all year, the latest film from writer/director Christopher Nolan is a heady trip that comes off as a thinking person's action flick. (Parental Review also Available)
Jim Judy - Screen It!
In it we see the promise of a brilliant career realized undeniably. It's a great achievement, and, yes, a great film.
Shawn Levy - Oregonian
This truly remarkable movie represents imagination of the highest order conducted by a true master of the art of motion pictures.
Bill Gibron - PopMatters
Rule of thumb: if a movie uses the word "deep" as much as this one does, it probably isn't.
Walter Chaw - Film Freak Central
It's a long movie (2.5 hours) but doesn't feel so, and is the rare would-be blockbuster that demands close attention and would surely reward rewatching.
Moira MacDonald - Seattle Times
Inspired at times by movie classics, modern and otherwise - 'Dark City' and 'Minority Report,' but also 'Metropolis,' 'Citizen Kane' and the best 007 adventures - it earns its place in the same conversation, a tribute to Nolan's ingenuity.
Rossiter Drake - San Francisco Examiner
The visual effects are outstanding, including a fight scene that rivals any ever put on film.
Michael A. Smith - Nolan's Pop Culture Review
Beautiful and bloodless. Like a dream, it doesn't implant ideas you'll carry with you outside of the multiplex
Amy Nicholson - I.E. Weekly
A grandiose exploration of the subconscious and a blazing piece of puzzlemaking.
Jules Brenner - Cinema Signals
Without a substantial story to support the whole, the piece is as weightless as the 'Zzzzzz team' itself, floating through the multiple levels of dreams within dreams.
Kimberly Gadette - Indie Movies Online
I absolutely loved every minute of it.
Rene Rodriguez - Miami Herald
Plays like Ocean's 11 on Elm Street as written by Philip K. Dick, and that's mostly a good thing.
Scott Von Doviak - Nerve.com
Christopher Nolan's films are things of beauty, precisely constructed and expertly executed. But you wouldn't want to live there.
Bryant Frazer - Bryant Frazer's Deep Focus
With its cityscapes hinged like drawbridges, "Inception" resembles something Dutch illusionist M.C. Escher might have conceived. At other moments, the film invokes the great Stanley Kubrick, another artist specializing in chilly mind-mazes.
James Verniere - Boston Herald
Nolan's greatest aspect might be his own ability to show restraint when he could easily over blow everything. It worked miracles in Dark Knight and it has crafted a masterpiece in the form of Inception.
Matthew Razak - Examiner.com
Even minor roles are filled by sterling talent (including Michael Caine as Cobb's mentor), which is testament to the originality and precision of Christopher Nolan. His is a mind that's definitely worth getting lost in.
Stella Papamichael - Digital Spy
You have to love a movie that dares people to think big.
David Medsker - Bullz-Eye.com
...part heist caper, part Jungian fugue-state where dreams stack up inside each other like Russian nesting dolls.
Chris Barsanti - PopMatters
Inception is the most astonishing thing you will see all year. It may be one of the most astonishing things you will ever see.
Brandon Fibbs - BrandonFibbs.com
Inception is the rare blockbuster entry as sophisticated and intelligent as it is exciting and spectacular.
Jeffrey Westhoff - Northwest Herald (Crystal Lake, IL)
It's the kind of thing that only comes along once every few decades.
Jeff Vice - Deseret News, Salt Lake City
Inception may be the brainiest hokum ever released in a cinematic summer. Imagine Last Year in Marienbad wandering into the orbit of producer Jerry Bruckheimer.
Nigel Andrews - Financial Times
A superior summer movie, one with heart and brains and loads of razzle-dazzle.
Maitland McDonagh - Film Journal International
Personally, I got more thrills out of the simple animation of Richard Linklater's Waking Life.
Peter Keough - Boston Phoenix
A remarkable achievement in ingenuity and storytelling.
Josh Bell - Las Vegas Weekly
Inception is Instruction Manual Cinema, a film that spends so much time explaining the rules of its narrative conceit that it fails to either emotionally engage or, except in a few notable spots, viscerally thrill.
Nick Schager - Slant Magazine
For a motion picture set within the boundless reaches of the subconscious, Inception is depressingly lacking in imagination.
Dustin Putman
The simplest way to sum up the greatness of Inception is to identify it as a new classic of science-fiction cinema (and, for that matter, the heist genre).
Peter Canavese - Groucho Reviews
Nolan's film delivers on all scores. The writer/director of Memento continues to show that action blockbusters don't have to check their brains at the door. ... Lots of directors blow stuff up real good; but Nolan blows stuff up real interesting.
Andy Klein - Brand X
Brilliantly directed and superbly conceived, this is a genuinely exciting, intelligent thriller with stunning visuals, gripping action scenes, a brilliantly constructed script and terrific performances from a note-perfect cast.
Matthew Turner - ViewLondon
Nolan handles the mechanics of his Russian-doll worlds expertly, but it's not clear whether he's taken his own advice and put a single, simple idea at the center of his elaborate labyrinth.
Sam Adams - Philadelphia City Paper
How can it be that a bunch of people sitting around scheming nonsense can prove so compelling? Only David Fincher knows how to take a studio's money and spin it as stylishly as Nolan.
Joshua Rothkopf - Time Out
Consider this as a form of inception from a film review: see it again, and while you're at it, see it a third time.
Scott A. Mantz - Access Hollywood
Like Grand Theft Auto's quasi-cinematic extension of noir and action-flick plots, Inception manipulates the digital audience's delectation for relentless subterfuge.
Armond White - New York Press
No matter how high your personal expectations for "Inception" may be, the film not only meets but wildly exceeds them.
Peter Sobczynski - eFilmCritic.com
While the mind-bending story might not be as cerebral as it seems, it completely envelops us
Rich Cline - Shadows on the Wall
Inception is the first masterful video game movie (never mind that it isn't based on a video game).
Josh Larsen - LarsenOnFilm
Inception is a film about a man who wants to implant an idea in another man's mind. The reason it's a masterpiece is because Christopher Nolan somehow found his way into mine.
Brian Tallerico - Movie Retriever
A masterpiece on a grand scale that is not just an ingenious work of science fiction but may be the best film since Rear Window to play along with your mind's eye on how we view movies altogether.
Erik Childress - eFilmCritic.com
A singular film that seeps into your brain so much so that you might leave the theater looking at the world differently.
Jen Yamato - Movies.com
It's a challenge and a minor chore to follow Nolan's cerebral lead, but anyone complaining that Hollywood lacks bold inspiration can shush for a while.
Steve Persall - Tampa Bay Times
Writer/director Christopher Nolan is too obsessed with the mechanics of the gimmick and plot of Inception to make any intellectual leaps off the screen.
Mark Dujsik - Mark Reviews Movies
Christopher Nolan's existential sci-fi heist flick is always riveting, if not always comprehensible.
Thomas Leupp - Hollywood.com
Huh? Beautifully executed with DiCaprio's intensity but what does it mean?
Victoria Alexander - FilmsInReview.com
So now I've watched Inception, had my mind splattered all over the theater just like I knew it would be, and I still don't really know what it's about. That's just how amazing this movie is.
Phil Villarreal - OK! Magazine
Can a summer blockbuster with a multi-million dollar budget really be this smart, moving and intellectually thrilling? Pinch yourselves, we could still be dreaming.
Catherine Bray - Film4
The best major release of the summer, the most fully imagined, dramatically enthralling piece of sci-fi movie-making since The Matrix.
Marshall Fine - Hollywood & Fine
A huge movie full of meaty ideas and eye-popping special-effects, yet much like Dark Knight, the go-for-broke ambition becomes a bit of a grind.
Sean Burns - Philadelphia Weekly
Awesome design, effects and stunts, but where's the story?
Harvey S. Karten - Compuserve
My mind is blown. It is. Just not quite as blown as I was expecting it to be.
MaryAnn Johanson - Flick Filosopher
Watching Inception is like striking a match and setting your brain on fire.
Joshua Tyler - CinemaBlend.com
It is not that I don't understand (well, pretty much, anyway) or appreciate the intense ambition of Christopher Nolan's trip into the world of dreams. But why did a movie designed to blow your mind, leave mine, while originally tickled, ultimately unmoved
Joanna Langfield - The Movie Minute
The next step in [Christopher] Nolan's evolution as one of the master filmmakers of our time ... combines the jaw-dropping action of The Dark Knight with the ingenious plotting of Memento.
Geoff Berkshire - Metromix.com
Roll with the journey and trust that it will take you where you want to go.
Chris Laverty - Clothes on Film
You will no doubt need to see Inception more than once to appreciate every nuance of Nolan's carefully balanced ambiguities - but, more importantly, you will also want to.
Anton Bitel - Eye for Film
Mind-bending and time-twisting, it's the most exciting thrill-ride of the summer.
Susan Granger - SSG Syndicate
The visuals, with their sweeping grey-blue Gotham-like cityscapes and preference for real-life stunts over computer trickery, are jaw-past-yer-knees outstanding.
Robbie Collin - News of the World
I wanted to surrender to this dream; I didn't want to be out in the cold, alone. But I truly have no idea what so many people are raving about.
David Edelstein
A film erupting with ideas, ambition and intelligence, one that credits the viewer with the capacity for some mental heavy lifting.
Nick Setchfield - SFX Magazine
It is hugely impressive that, given what was at stake, Nolan has managed to not only pull this out of the bag, but to absolutely nail it. The film is as all-encompassing as the concept of its title: grand, epic, smart and unforgettable.
Martin Roberts - Fan The Fire
More admirable in intellectual ambition and technical execution than in emotional impact, Inception is an unusual blockbuster, driven by ideas rather than CGI action, but also excessive and overwrought in the last hour.
Emanuel Levy - EmanuelLevy.Com
With physics-defying, thunderous action, heart-wringing emotion and an astonishing performance from DiCaprio, Nolan delivers another true original: welcome to an undiscovered country.
Nev Pierce - Empire Magazine
Inception could very well be Nolan's masterpiece.
Jim Vejvoda - IGN Movies
Beyond a taut suspense thriller, Inception is also a moving love story.
Anne Thompson - Thompson on Hollywood
Inception doesn't just dream bigger than most movies even dare, but it leaves the audience feeling inspired to do the same.
Katey Rich - CinemaBlend.com
There are times in Christopher Nolan's somnolent crime caper where you'll find yourself recognizing moments from your own subconscious on the screen, to a thrilling, frightening and ultimately inspiring effect.
Jordan Hoffman - UGO
I didn't get my mind blown by Inception but I enjoyed it. I mean, it's no Total Recall.
Fred Topel - Can Magazine
I expected a lot,but still walked out hypnotized. Here's a movie that's 3 steps ahead of you, on 4 different levels, at 5 blinding speeds. Best of 2010 thus far. (No Spoilers)
Steven Snyder - Techland
Inception is a masterpiece. Making a huge film with big ambitions, Christopher Nolan never missteps and manages to create a movie that, at times, feels like a miracle.
Devin Faraci - CHUD
a stunning achievement and the most completely entertaining film I've seen in years.
Todd Gilchrist - Cinematical
Inception is an exhilarating cinematic experience that suggests there is still room, even in the blockbuster world, for big ideas and dangerous emotions, and that may be the single most thrilling thing about it.
Drew McWeeny - HitFix
A wildly entertaining and dazzling mind-trip not to be missed. Kubrick would have been proud.
Pete Hammond - Boxoffice Magazine

Worried neighbors called Colorado Springs police on Wednesday because they hadn't seen her recently. An officer found her later that day, dehydrated and disoriented and unable to get out of the tub.
She was taken to a hospital. Her name and condition haven't been released.
Police said Friday it's not clear how long she was stuck but one neighbor hadn't seen her for 11 days. The officer found newspapers and mail piled up at her door.
Neighbor Tom Wolf tells KRDO-TV he decided to call police after noticing the woman's flower garden was untended and her car hadn't moved lately.
He says what he did wasn't heroic, just caring.

When people hear me talk about populism, some folks think I'm talking about the racist, xenophobic, angry things that get branded as populism. True populism is about bringing people up, not tearing them down. True populism is multiracial and transracial. The #BlackLivesMatter movement is about acknowledging the brutal, painful injustices our Black sisters and brothers have endured and are continuing to endure. When we talk about #BlackLivesMatter, some people hear that we don't think "all" lives matter. Supporting #BlackLivesMatter, especially in the face of these killings by police officers, doesn't mean that no one else matters. It means that we white people haven't done justice by our brethren of color, and it's time that we step up to the plate. All of us. Together.
Jim Hightower's Radio Lowdown

A political party really worth joining

You'll find them over on the Hightower Lowdown now, in the radio archives. Note: we post new episodes there on Tuesdays and Thursdays; however, some radio stations around the country air Hightower's commentaries on their own schedule.
Hightower's statement on Brexit: This isn't populism!
Yet again, the political and media establishment (excuse the redundancy) misconstrue "populism" as an ignorant and bigoted political fringe. The working-class people of Great Britain have every right to be upset and frustrated with their government: austerity and corporate cronyism, just as it has here in the US, has brought people to their knees. But with #Brexit, they've been bamboozled into believing that their troubles lie with immigrants and EU fees, not with their own elite– the aloof bosses, bankers, big shots, bastards, and bullshitters who think they are the top dogs and the rest of us are fire hydrants. Want to understand what real populism is? Check out this introduction we've got over at the Hightower Lowdown:
All of these (and more) have added up to an enthronement of the rich and the normalization of inequity. They threaten to squeeze the life out of America's core values of democracy, equality, and justice.
But there is a medicine to fight this disease, a powerful antidote deeply entwined with our nation's history: populism—a political doctrine rooted in the rebellious spirit and commitment to the common good of ordinary, grassroots Americans. Time and again throughout our country's history, populist rebellions have been sparked when ordinary folks were being run over by abusive concentrations of power. And so it is today: hundreds of thousands of Americans—young and old, white and black and brown—are again speaking up and standing against the armed robbery of the people's rights and the grand theft of the American Dream. That is populism.
Hightower's statement after meeting with Bernie Sanders and the surrogates
About 20 of us spent 4 hours or so talking with Bernie Sanders about BernieNext, not looking back, but at how far this grassroots populist movement has come in only 15 months. Everyone there is very excited about continuing the rebellion into congressional and local elections and issue campaigns next year, 2018, 2020 and beyond. This year's phenomenal achievements are only the start. Presidential campaigns end on Election Day–revolutions don't!

National radio commentator, writer, public speaker, and New York Times best-selling author, Jim Hightower has spent four decades battling the Powers That Be on behalf of the Powers That Ought To Be – consumers, working families, environmentalists, small businesses, and just-plain-folks.
Twice elected Texas Agriculture Commissioner, Hightower believes that the true political spectrum is not right to left but top to bottom, and he has become a leading national voice for the 80 percent of the public who no longer find themselves within shouting distance of the Washington and Wall Street powers at the top.
Hightower is a modern-day Johnny Appleseed, spreading the message of progressive populism all across the American grassroots.
He broadcasts daily radio commentaries that are carried in more than 150 commercial and public stations, on the web, and on Radio for Peace International.
Every month he pens a rousing newsletter, The Hightower Lowdown, that blasts through the corporate media blockade to lend new reporting and populist perspective on the events of the day.
A popular public speaker who is fiery and funny, he is a populist road warrior who delivers more than 100 speeches a year to all kinds of groups.
He is a New York Times best-selling author, and has written seven books including, Thieves In High Places: They've Stolen Our Country And It's Time To Take It Back; If the Gods Had Meant Us To Vote They Would Have Given Us Candidates; and There's Nothing In the Middle Of the Road But Yellow Stripes and Dead Armadillos. His newspaper column is distributed nationally by Creators Syndicate.
Hightower frequently appears on television and radio programs, bringing a hard-hitting populist viewpoint that rarely gets into the mass media. In addition, he works closely with the alternative media, and in all of his work he keeps his ever-ready Texas humor up front, practicing the credo of an old Yugoslavian proverb: "You can fight the gods and still have fun."
Hightower was raised in Denison, Texas, in a family of small business people, tenant farmers, and working folks. A graduate of the University of North Texas, he worked in Washington as legislative aide to Sen. Ralph Yarborough of Texas; he then co-founded the Agribusiness Accountability Project, a public interest project that focused on corporate power in the food economy; and he was national coordinator of the 1976 "Fred Harris for President" campaign. Hightower then returned to his home state, where he became editor of the feisty biweekly, The Texas Observer. He served as director of the Texas Consumer Association before running for statewide office and being elected to two terms as Texas Agriculture Commissioner (1983-1991).
During the 90's, Hightower became known as "America's most popular populist," developing his radio commentaries, hosting two radio talk shows, writing books, launching his newsletter, giving fiery speeches coast to coast, and otherwise speaking out for the American majority that's being locked out economically and politically by the elites.
As political columnist Molly Ivins said, "If Will Rogers and Mother Jones had a baby, Jim Hightower would be that rambunctious child — mad as hell, with a sense of humor."

One of my favorite positions in the NFL is the kicker. They normally aren't quite as physically intimidating as the rest of the squad, but the kicker still has the power to make or break a season.
A missed field goal can be a heavy burden to bear when it comes at the expense of a playoff berth.
On the other hand, sending that football directly down the middle of those two yellow posts can whip up a celebratory frenzy faster than bleeding fish in a shark tank. (Gross, I know. I was at a loss for comparisons though).
Even with all of the pressure exerted on these strong-footed men, however, kickers still get no respect. Most people, teammates and coaches included, don't even consider them "real" football players.
I beg to differ.
I previously penned an article rating, in my personal opinion, the top 10 hottest quarterbacks in the league.
Now it's the kickers' turn.
Because kickers are cute, too.

- 2 bay leaf, finely chopped
- 300ml dry white wine
Cut the string from the joint and unroll it. Flatten out as much as possible, cutting through any thick pieces if necessary to give you an even thickness of meat. Mix the garlic, fennel, pepper, rosemary, bay and 1 tsp salt. Sprinkle evenly over all sides of the pork and massage it in. Place on a platter, cover loosely with foil and chill for at least 4 hrs or up to 24 hrs.
Re-roll the joint and tie at intervals along its length with string. Bring to room temp an hr before roasting and heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Roast the pork in a roasting tin for 2 hrs, basting occasionally and adding the wine after 1 hr. Remove from the oven, transfer to a platter and pour over the pan juices. Cover tightly with foil and leave to rest for 15 mins. Serve with beans (see 'Goes well with') and salad (see below).
Making really crispy crackling
You should get decent crackling from this cut by cooking the pork the way I have described, but if you want to be totally sure of it I suggest you increase the oven temperature to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 for the final half hour of cooking. Check the wine has not started to evaporate, adding a little more if necessary. Or, if you prefer, you can remove the skin from the joint, rub it evenly with salt, then cook it on a baking sheet on the shelf above the pork.
Winter green salad
Mix together 1 small curly endive, torn into bite-sized pieces, 2 heads radicchio or chicory, shredded and 100g bag lamb's lettuce. Tip 2 tbsp Sherry vinegar, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, &frac;12 tsp sugar or honey and salt and pepper into a jar and shake well. Add 6 tbsp olive oil and shake to mix. Pour the dressing into the base of a large bowl and put leaves on top. When ready to serve, bring to table and toss the salad with the dressing to coat the leaves.
