That was a lot. Basically an unrelenting info dump with an often overbearing score. I've no doubt that a second viewing would do wonders for my opinion of this film, but I can't see myself doing that anytime soon, so for now the best I can do is "pretty good". And I usually love Nolan!

Killers of the Flower Moon SHOULD nuke this come awards season. They're not even in the same league.

2022 film?

I liked the look of it as well, and added it to my to watch list a few days ago.

Showing Up premiered at the Cannes Film Festival on May 27, 2022, where it was nominated for the Palme d'Or. The film was released theatrically in the United States by A24 on April 7, 2023.

I liked Oppie much more the second time watching. I think it's a brilliant small artsy story told on a massive scale only the way Nolan could have. It's definitely not for everyone, but if you pay close attention and manage to follow everything it is very impressive and quite enjoyable.

Oh, I watched it while rimming and checking football scores. My mistake.

(Yes I was paying attention, but good tip!)

I'm going with 2023, just so I can include it in my year end list.

Takes a lot more to offend me. You're fine.

I am impressed by how many of you rewatched this so soon after your first viewing. Dedicated film nerdz.

I think I watched it years ago in my early teens and got bored with it, this time round it was much better

Have you seen Michael Mann's Thief? That's absolutely worth a watch.
