here's a quote:
Now imagine that insane-sounding movie was the runaway box-office hit of 2010.
And that it was the rare Hollywood blockbuster that was not a sequel or a tentpole or an adaptation of any kind. You can hate Inception all you want.
You can think it’s stupid, or that it doesn’t make sense, or that it’s too confusing, or not confusing enough. You can, like my friend David Edelstein wanted to do at the time,
slap the living crap out of those of us who were enamored of the film (not to hurt us, mind you, but to wake us up). But you have to hand it to Christopher Nolan:
He sure pulled a lot of us into the crazy world of his existential heist movie. And some of us are still there. Inception recently celebrated its tenth anniversary,
and it’s now coming back out in theaters — what few theaters there are open in our mad new world —
