Well, I surely can't go in with as much depth as you, since I haven't see majority of his work. But from what I've seen I really rate him and Interstellar surely didn't make him any less of an actor in my books. I liked his role and it's simplicity sometimes, I think he blends there. You know, a regular parent trying to save his family (or humanity) that happens to come across frustration of failure and disappointment. His bond with a daughter was pretty strong and I liked the emotional stress that happened to cross by. It is noticeable a stronger beginning and ending but imo it's what I liked about it as it went to show more dramatic input from the movie, science and humans. I heard how during the filming Nolan worked with a physicist to make it look better and it strikes me as such. It's hard for a movie to deliver a hidden story from a background which is based on a strong (yet invisible) bond between himself and his daughter, forgiveness, fraud, lies and such, but I believe it was all blended together super tight. Also, I loved how parts in space were filmed. The lack of CGI made it look much more natural and old school. Visuals were brilliant and I gotta mention it again -- Nolan is brining something very unique into movies and his creativity is on another level compared to pretty much all directors nowadays imo.

I watched Force Majeure again tonight. It was even better than when I saw it at the film festival. I must have been "all filmed out" to have placed it in the lower half of my top 10 of last year. It's a top 3 film of 2014 for sure. It's so emotionally perceptive and subtle, even when at it's most detached. It's visually stunning even in those moments where it edges into the banal (purposefully banal I'd add). I really love the sly, prodding darkness of the comedic aspect.
Anyways. Probably wouldn't have given it a second watch without you mentioning it a few times in this thread. So thank you. Brilliant film.

I'm glad that you liked it so much. 
Give it some time and then check out the soundtrack. When i watched the movie i wasn't really paying attention to the music, but after some time i really needed to hear it again. Some parts were amazing.
