Critic Reviews
"[A] gorgeous, heartbreaking epic."
"Staggeringly beautiful, bafflingly complex, this is proper event cinema."
"With all the rampant think pieces questioning the probability of every science fiction film that comes out, it's comforting to across a movie that doesn't really claim to have any of the answers."
"Deeply flawed but also wholly absorbing, Interstellar further marked writer-director Christopher Nolan as one of our most ambitious, go-for-broke directors, unafraid to attempt Sistine Chapel ceilings while his fellow filmmakers are working with Crayolas."
"While detractors have often accused Nolan of being all brains and no heart, “Interstellar” shows that his intellect and his emotions are not at odds—they are inextricably linked."
"Nolan, a fan of narrative devices and metaphors, uses this bending of time to create tension, drama and suspense across a multitude of spaces and timelines. [Full review in Spanish]"
