Two separate readings, not parts of the score β the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.

Thin evidence β the shape below rests on 17 comments. The shaded band is how wide the uncertainty actually is, and it is drawn to scale.
Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

βThe ending. That was, I think, the most intense ending of a movie in a year or probably more than a year. People actually screamed when the screen faded.β

βIn terms of sheer originality, ambition and achievement, Inception is the movie of the summer, the movie of the year and the movie of our dreams.β
Pete Hammond, Boxoffice Magazine Β· 100
βIf Inception is a metaphysical puzzle, it's also a metaphorical one: It's hard not to draw connections between Cobb's dream-weaving and Nolan's filmmaking -- an activity devoted to constructing a simulacrum of reality, intended to seduce us, mess with our heads and leave a lasting impression. Mission accomplished.β
Justin Chang, Variety Β· 100
βWith physics-defying, thunderous action, heart-wringing emotion and an astonishing performance from DiCaprio, Nolan delivers another true original: welcome to an undiscovered country.β
Nev Pierce, Empire Β· 100
βNolan blurs the distinction between dreams and reality so artfully that Inception may well be a masterpiece masquerading as a summer blockbuster.β
Lou Lumenick, New York Post Β· 100
βThe visuals are stunning, perhaps the most fully realized of any film.β

Grouped by where it was written, because a considered review and a reaction typed an hour after the credits are different things. Every quote links to its source.

β91/100 A dream within a dream within a dream within a dream. How far down can you go and for how long? Both a thought provoking thrill ride that will warp your brain and an incredible feast for the eyes. Supremely imaginative, it's one of the most elaborately designed, modern day fantasy films of all time. -- DrNostromo.comβ
