Movies about making movies run the risk of feeling over-indulgent, mythologizing the role of the movies to the point of pretension, and alienating the average audience. Nope is unquestionably about the relationship between the camera and its subject, and it may leave some viewers wanting, but it's packed with some of the finest filmmaking a discerning crowd could see this year. If any aspect of the film's promise holds appeal, learn nothing else about it, and see Nope immediately.
