Nolan tends to alternate between high-concept weird stuff involving some space and time gimmick in the narrative (Memento, The Prestige, Inception, Interstellar, Tenet) and more conventional fare (Insomnia, the Dark Knight trilogy). Dunkirk would belong more to the second kind, even if it had the three different timelines, as the plot was otherwise quite linear.

It's mostly in the weird time stuff department that Nolan has become much more convoluted and disappointing. Interstellar was quite flawed and Tenet was insufferable, especially the 65mm version that came preceded by a written blurb by Nolan himself about 65mm film stock offering some kind of "virtual reality without the goggles". Chrissy, do you know what makes for even better immersion? A plot without technobabble or contradictions that take the audience out of the picture every ten minutes or so.
