A new survey from Money UK set out to find the most confusing movie ever made. With a list of 132 to choose from, a winner was finally crowned…and that winner was “Inception” (2010). Once it was deemed the most confusing, the editors commented, “Considering it’s a film about being able to jump into different layers of people’s dreams to implant and steal ideas, it’s hardly surprising to find it at the top!” Rounding out the survey’s top five were: “Tenet” (2020), “Shutter Island” (2010), “The Shining” (1980), and “I’m Thinking of Ending Things” (2020).
