great comment and great questions to evaluate film and separate personal subjective evaluation from objective evaluation of movie. which i always struggled about. i am going to use this questions next time. also i am not sure what - percentage of people that can appreciate the goodness of specific aspect of movie says about that movie. seems like quality dimension? although you stated quality separately as different dimension and as being not important in evaluating the film. how do you even evaluate some aspect without evaluating that aspects' quality?

Short version: quality is established when at least a few people can explain how the element works and why it's good. So that becomes objective. The more people who can see the quality, the wider the appeal.
Everyone thinks
Blade Runner
looks amazing.
The editing style of
Upstream Color
appeals to only a minority of viewers, but we can explain why it's tremendously good.

I don't mind most Nolan movies, but I DESPISED The Prestige - I thought it was a big, fat, pile of nonsensical CRAP.
Why are you here if you haven't seen the movie yet?

Almost nothing is better than Memento.

Memento
may be the one film least in need of a remake.

It would be great if you could reply to this thread (even better, reply to this post) once you're done with your Quora post. Would love to read it.

Just remembered this! The Quora post is immensely long, but I think it's really cool. You'll learn some brain science, too.

well, an intelligent sci-fi drama like this one shouldn't be compared to pretentious nonsense flicks from that hack Nolan (and yes, that includes that hot mess Interstellar as well)

Here's my 6000+ word (!) explanation of why Christopher Nolan is perhaps the most important living film director.
Yeah, it's immensely long. Start reading it, and stop when
(and if)
you get bored.
