Entertaining, but material doesn't develop the full, edgy potential that similar paranoid-triangle efforts realized.

Here, though couched in existential ennui, our main character is also stealing in order to survive as an emotional being in a world that has far more grey areas than it does black and white.

Jan 31, 2017One of the most captivating indie films I've ever seen - especially impressive for a film shot on just a £3,000 budget.Sean T Super Reviewer

Oct 08, 2015The Following is not a bad noir film. While not quite amateur, it is a novice effort -- both imaginative and naive. The plot is a bit too clever, but it is an interesting (and short) film. Recommended more to fans of black-and-white noir than to Christopher Nolan fans.Robert B Super Reviewer

Mar 30, 2015I know that this film has been really well-received in retrospect because it's a Chris Nolan film, but I just didn't like it. And I love most of Nolan's movies. Nothing really happened the whole time until the ending, and that was really stupid. The neo-noir style is cool, but like I said, this film in general just didn't appeal to me.Stephen S Super Reviewer

Sep 24, 2014Unconventional but strangely engaging, Following may not be Christopher Nolan's most refined film, but it's surely one of his most unique.Isaac H Super Reviewer
Following Quotes
| Cobb: | You can tell a lot about people from their stuff. |
| The Young Man: | Why would you take their old CD's? |
| Cobb: | Easy to grab a load, easy to sell, totally untraceable. A good staple. The other stuff's a lot more tricky, far more unpredictable. |
| The Blonde: | Nobody in their right mind would steal from him. |
| The Policeman: | Why did you do it? |
| The Young Man: | How can I explain? Your eyes pass over the crowd, and if you let them settle on a person, then that person becomes an individual. Just...like...that [snaps fingers]. |
