NJ Peloton instructor gets a shoutout from Christopher Nolan, for criticizing his film!

Award winning director Christopher Nolan on Wednesday shared his appreciation for film criticism during his acceptance speech for best director at the New York Film Critics Circle award ceremony.

During his speech, the British-American director recalled how during a Peloton workout class, his instructor slammed his film, without knowing he's participating in the class.

“I was on my Peloton. I’m dying. And the instructor started talking about one of my films and said, ‘Did anyone see this? That’s a couple hours of my life I’ll never get back again!’” Nolan told the audience, according to Variety.

“When [film critic] Rex Reed takes a [expletive] on your film he doesn’t ask you to work out," Nolan joked.  "In today’s world, where opinions are everywhere, there is a sort of idea that film criticism is being democratized, but I for one think the critical appreciation of films shouldn’t be an instinct but it should be a profession."

“Obviously, writing about cinema objectively is a paradox, but the aspirations of objectivity is what makes criticism vital and timeless and useful to filmmakers and the filmmaking community,” he added.

It turns out that Peloton instructor is Jenn Sherman, a Fort Lee native. On Thursday, Sherman responded in an Instagram post saying she had no clue Nolan was in her class.

"It was 2020, it was a dark time, I was up on the platform, teaching my little class and I'm running my mouth off like I'm known to do and I make a random comment about the movie I saw a night before," she says.

"I may not have understood a minute of what the hell was going on in 'Tenet,' but I have seen 'Oppenheimer' twice, and that six hours of my life I don't ever want to give back," Sherman continued.

She went on to invite Nolan to her class in L.A.

"You can critique my class," she said, "we'll have a great time, you'll sit in the front row and it'll be insult free."

Sherman has thousands of subscribing Peloton members who ride along with her on the company's stationary bicycles.

Previously, Sherman was teaching classes at Life Time in Montvale and the JCC on the Palisades in Tenafly, and her classes were packed.
