## Key points

- The ranking focuses on films that inspire strong opposing reactions.
- *Tenet* and *The Killer* reward viewers who engage with their style.
- *The Apprentice* is divisive partly because of its portrayal of Trump.

## Summary

The article ranks films from the 2020s that have sharply divided audiences, arguing that disagreement can make a movie more interesting to discuss. Its writer focuses on films that some people love and others find frustrating or difficult, rather than titles that were broadly disliked.

Examples include Christopher Nolan’s *Tenet*, whose time-reversal premise pushes his interest in complex timelines to extremes, and David Fincher’s *The Killer*, a crime film whose dark humour may be easy to miss. *The Apprentice*, about Donald Trump’s rise before politics, is also described as deliberately challenging and controversial, with viewers likely to differ over how it portrays him and events in his life.
