We’ve all left cinemas before, scratching our heads as to what the film’s ending truly meant. Was there another dream within a dream? Was the narrator insane all along? So, unable to work it all out, we turn to Google to tell us the meaning.
We investigated what 50 Hollywood films end in the most confusing fashion. We took search data from the first half of 2022, amalgamated it together, and these are the results:
Position | Film title | Year of release | Searches relating to the film’s ending |
#1 | Tenet | 2020 | 478,170 |
#2 | Shutter Island | 2010 | 319,200 |
#3 | Midsommar | 2019 | 191,410 |
#4 | American Psycho | 2000 | 160,000 |
#5 | Inception | 2010 | 144,100 |
#6 | Donnie Darko | 2001 | 119,070 |
#7 | Us | 2019 | 108,400 |
#8 | Nocturnal Animals | 2016 | 97,080 |
#9 | Hereditary | 2018 | 92,700 |
#10 | The Shining | 1980 | 89,600 |

Position | Director’s name | Number of confusing films | Cumulative confusing film ending searches |
#1 | Christopher Nolan | 5 | 759,490 |
#2 | Darren Aronofsky | 3 | 89,510 |
#3 | Denis Villeneuve | 2 | 92,680 |
#3 | Martin Scorsese | 2 | 343,990 |
#3 | Stanley Kubrick | 2 | 127,060 |
#3 | Coen Brothers | 2 | 80,810 |
#3 | Ari Aster | 2 | 284,110 |
Remarkably, Christopher Nolan has five Hollywood films featuring on this list! Considering he’s directed 10 feature films in his lifetime, having half of those be on the list of ‘most confusing endings’ is surprising. It’s a testament to the reach his films have, alongside their complex nature.
After that is cult director Darren Aronofsky, with three of his Hollywood feature films on this list, and then those below him all feature twice on the list, therefore taking joint third. Honourable mention goes to Martin Scorsese, who only has two films on our list of 50, and yet at 343,990 cumulatively scores above all other than Nolan, highlighting just how confusing viewers find the end of his films.
