It's difficult for me to say something even after this movie credits finished rolling. Without hesitation, Christopher Nolan delivers a great momentum of masterclass directing with Oppenheimer. This is very ambitious, captivating, and powerful, alongside masterfully constructed character study from a great director operating on a whole new level. He makes it emotional and brutal, but epic and intimate at the same time. The complexity of each perspective captures very dense and horrifyingly brilliant. Thanks to Hoyte van Hoytema for the masterful shot, he successfully captures the awesome power of a bomb while also showcasing the vulnerability and flaws of the humans that created it.
Stunningly, the script boasts with complex themes that open a whole can of difficult discussions that couldn’t be more relevant and terrifying. The production value and technical aspects, including Göransson's eargasm scoring are immersively incredible. This stands as a biopic that is devastating and skillfully edited with outstanding cast and career-defining performances from Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr. Wonderfully helmed by Nolan and he once again showcases a true splendid filmmaking. A tour-de-force and magnificent cinema!
