Nolan’s boarding-school Tory-ite anti-art is predicated on the general terribleness of Hollywood, a fact that puts the obsequiousness of his critical admirers into relief. Film critics are now paid to find a balance between positive and negative reviews, to worry over the way an American audience spends money on movie tickets. This criticism-as-consumer reports plays in Nolan’s favor because he is a director of audiences and not an auteur working against the system. “We all find films through Hollywood,” Nolan told the Times. “Nobody watches Godard when they’re ten years old.”
