If all of Nolan's films are about him trying to come to terms with something through his typically cold, precisely-plotted, realist sensibilities (e.g. Inception and dreams, Memento and memory) then Interstellar is perhaps his most interesting movie yet - because it's a film about him trying to understand love.

So I get why it doesn't work for some people. Coming from Nolan it does somewhat end up feeling like a movie about a robot learning to love, but at its core it's so earnest and go-for-broke ambitious that I can't help but fall totally head over heels for it. I don't know that I had any particular expectations going into this, but whatever they were they were totally shattered by this immaculate, gorgeous opus from a master at the top of his craft. I can't say for sure if it's Nolan's best, but I can certainly see it being the one I'm most enthralled by.
