Oppenheimer was a huge disappointment for me. There was music throughout the film with absolutely no breathing space at all in between. Utterly disappointed as I went to the cinema with high expectations. The music overshadowed everything in my opinion....even the actors performances...as it was trying to force emotions in every scene through its dramatic undertone. What a shame. I struggled to focus on what was being said as the music was so loud in places and it was all I could hear. I just wished it to stop. Apart from that the film is well shot and has some great performances....even by Matt Damon.

After watching it I remembered Nolan's other film Interstellar which again had music throughout. I don't think I'll be rushing to watch another Nolan film any time soon.

The production values were pretty good but the script was poor, especially the dialogue between Vartika and her daughter and her conveying things about certain tribes to the media. I don't think the viewer needs things spelling out to them. Also unnecessarily 'Hollywoodised' in the script and the treatment of the series. It would've worked perfectly well within Indian standards due to its high production values. Very well shot and I think the intro is amazing. Disappointed with this series as the previous one left a lasting impact on me. It was by far one of the best series I've ever seen. It's still worth a watch though.

I felt nothing for the main character nor empathised with her. I waited and waited to feel something but felt nothing till the end. I began to wonder if Frances Mcdormand was suitable for the role as boredom crept in within minutes into the film. None of the characters including Fern stood out to me. I found the plot not only lame but the treatment of the film a bit slack in terms of development of characters. Some of the acting by the non actors was great and that didn't go unnoticed but that's all that stood out for me. I really don't mind slow films if they have interesting characters and backgrounds. But unfortunately I found Nomadland just did not tick the right boxes for me.
