Two-time Oscar winner Christopher Nolan says amateur film critics have developed a habit of dismissing storytelling techniques simply because they can identify them, a tendency he calls "a real problem in criticism today." Nolan laid out the argument in a recent podcast interview with Beijing-based host Zhong Shu, a clip of which surfaced on X on July 31. The filmmaker, riding a wave of commercial and critical success with his latest epic The Odyssey, did not mince words about what he sees as a fundamental misunderstanding of how stories work. The core complaint is straightforward: a growing class of online reviewers believes that naming the device a filmmaker used, making a character sympathetic, building toward a heroic moment, leaning…Open
