And while there are plenty of warranted criticisms against the film, there’s also plenty of stuff to love, too.

By Joshua Meyer/Nov. 9, 2021 9:58 am EST (Welcome to Survey Says, a feature where we conduct a movie-related survey for a random group of people and explain why they’re completely right, completely wrong, or somewhere in-between.) Filmmaker David Cronenberg once said, “Christopher Nolan’s best movie is ‘Memento.’ " This was after the release of “The Dark Knight Rises” back in 2012, and Cronenberg (who, it should be said, directed his own comic book movie, “A History of Violence”) stated that he didn’t think “formidable directors” like Nolan were making superhero films “an elevated art form....

The 12 Best Hulu Original Movies Of The Year, Ranked Hulu By Scott Thomas/Dec. 13, 2021 2:50 pm EST Last year, three months into life in lockdown, Hulu released the perfect lockdown movie. Max Barbakow’s “Palm Springs” was more than pleasing cinema — it was the film of its moment, albeit a moment that no one could’ve or wanted to imagine.
