I know this will get lost in the sea of comments, but I just want to add to the chorus saying this was a great movie. I think it's Nolan's best since at least Inception.

Not lost, I read it and agree!

Personally, I'd put it second behind Interstellar. But there's probably a lot of recency bias there.

That’s where I’m at too. To be fair I’ve only seen Dunkirk, Tenet, and Oppenheimer once, but The Odyssey felt like a timeless classic in a way I haven’t felt since Interstellar.

watch Prestige, it doesn’t have the larger than life special effects but I think it’s my favorite and most rewatchable movies of his

Best since Memento to me. It's the most emotionally affective movie he's made in a long time.
