Well I did not like it very much..

The acting was brilliant. The story good. The sex stuff totally not an issue (and no male nudity, WTH were those guys talking about?)

To me it came down to directing. I thought it sucked. Nolan loves these stories split in time like Dunkirk. Added B&W - Ok, whatever, points for novelty... But the entire movie is a totally unrealistic and unending stream of clever dialog delivered back and forth at Mach 1 from one actor to the other, bim bam boom... Nobody talks like that in real life, you have to listen, process, and reply... This was 3hrs of tit for tat high-speed vomited at the audience. It's bleeping exhausting. It's like Nolan condensed 5h of dialog into 2:30 by speeding up the tape. Honestly it was a friggin' relief when the bomb exploded and everyone shut up for a minute. Same when I took a blessed quiet pee break. Guess come to think of it I did not "love" any of Nolan's movies so it's probably me... (Edit: not true I liked Memento and partially interstellar, but not the rest)
Glad I did not take the kids, they would have died of boredom despite the cool subject matter.
