From the Interstellar wikipedia page: The resulting visual effects provided Thorne with new insight into the gravitational lensing and accretion disks surrounding black holes, resulting in the publication of three scientific papers.[71][72][73]

You can see a very distinct before/after Interstellar whenever black holes are depicted in media. Prior to Interstellar, black holes were depicted like whirlpools even though Jean-Pierre Luminet generated an image in the 1970s that shows gravitational lensing.
The paper does state that no astrophysical insights were gained, more insights on how to produce pretty yet accurate images. But still, cool!
It’s a good movie!
