I have not seen Insomnia, that is the only one, but I have it so will be watching soon. I feel Following was impressive at moments, but I loved the idea of the film so much the length and development just killed me. And thank you, thank you! I always love readers! :DMatt Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649474780894390040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319002630833235766.post-33703433285070620152011-04-27T09:19:46.735-07:002011-04-27T09:19:46.735-07:00I guess I'm a fan of just only one director. W...I guess I'm a fan of just only one director. Who is Christopher Nolan. Naturally, I can't really agree with you. I thought his weakest movie was Insomnia. As for Following, on the contrary, I was impressed because in 70 minutes and for ultra-low budget, he created a great story on screen. However, I truly enjoyed reading this review, some interesting points. Well done!Lesyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11785171567540455637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319002630833235766.post-24649325508083665952011-04-26T19:06:57.094-07:002011-04-26T19:06:57.094-07:00Thanks!

Also, some make comments like "Nolan has consistency matched by no director ever" and I find that to be childish. The Prestige though, is my second favorite film of his. I personally loved the ending, but nowhere near as brilliant as Memento, that is a film that I think to be (by far) his finest.

The ending and acting were great though, and it was overall entertaining.

Agree with the character development in Inception (even though I loved the film as a whole) - especially Ellen Page's character!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00175638828147935702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319002630833235766.post-83997105344812488652011-04-25T18:46:55.916-07:002011-04-25T18:46:55.916-07:00Interesting review, Matt!
