Tenet was a fun film to watch, but I thought it could have been great. One of the biggest issues I had with the film was how Christopher Nolan uses exposition in the film. In this video, I focus on Inception, Interstellar, and Tenet to show how I think Nolan's reliance on exposition is a growing problem for him as a storyteller.
