Review by Gelaos

Nolan plays with non-linear narrative, imagery and genres, yet his film remains easy to follow almost the entire time.

Every single element in Oppenheimer is great but together they form truly almost a cinematic masterpiece. The music, sound design, cinematography, direction, performances, non-linear narrative, ...

Although all actors did an incredible job, Cillian Murphy shines the most. Oppenheimer might the best performance in his career so far.

Sometimes it wouldn't hurt if Nolan would be more subtle. The plot rushes forward too abruptly in soem places, a more restrained use of music wouldn't have hurt, and I would have liked to see more physics instead of some pathetic phrases.

However, Oppenheimer is undoubtedly an impressive and timeless cinematic experience. I also appreciate that Nolan doesn't glorify J. R. Oppenheimer, instead he is portrayed as both a very intelligent and yet very fallible man.

The "I think we did." ending, especially in the context of current global tensions, is haunting. An excellent ending to an excellent film.
