Full-fledged reviews of "Argument" - the long-awaited new film by Christopher Nolan, which starts in the Russian box office on September 3, appear on the web. Here is what foreign publications write about him.
“Once again, he draws inspiration from physics, not psychology or philosophy. And what is interesting here is that the main idea of the film is that you can change the world without traveling in time, but reversing it - executed from the point of view of "how it works", and not "how it feels people". Best of all, the film is felt when they stop explaining how everything works to us, and the plot develops swiftly, as if in a Bond film, with jumping over locations, car races and amazing suits ". — Variety
“This setting literally requires comedic elements: a world in which bullets go back into the pistol and the laws of gravity are ignored. But this is not a frivolous film: Nolan simply turns back time, trying to bring dead ideas back to life. Visually and spiritually gray, this film is too time-limited for any enjoyment of its idea; which, however, is unlikely to prevent him from becoming extremely successful "-
Indiewire“Remove the idea of manipulating time from the film, and you will be left with a completely usual set for cinema: thefts, car races, defusing bombs, and more thefts. But then again, the basis of Nolan's films has always been that he takes the idea for a blockbuster that would surely attract teenagers and make him smarter and more mature. In the end, he plays on what we liked when we were younger, making it attractive to us now. He's also amazing at blowing things up. " — New York Times
“You leave the cinema feeling more tired than when you entered it. There is something unpleasant about this film, which explains in detail the pseudoscience on which everything is built here, while creating the feeling that you did not understand anything. Fortunately, at the end they pat you on the head and soothe you with the notation how everything actually happened. " — The guardian
“Argument feels like the most Nolanian film ever - it reinforces familiar directorial techniques and the idea of time manipulation. The result is a film that is both energetic and equally hyped. " — SlashFilm
The final trailer of the film in Russian was also released over the weekend.
