🎞️📼Spencer💿📺’s review published on Letterboxd:
In a universe where Robert Downey Jr. is predominantly hailed as Iron Man, "Oppenheimer" serves as a delightful palate cleanser, reminding us that RDJ's talents are as expansive as the atomic theories its namesake character tackled. Swapping out a suit of armor for a more period-appropriate wardrobe, Downey delivers a performance that is nothing short of explosive.
The film itself is a masterful blend of narrative flair and historical gravity, pulling you into the vortex of ethical dilemmas and monumental decisions that once loomed over J. Robert Oppenheimer. The storytelling sizzles with tension, yet leaves room for the characters to breathe—something you'd hope for when dealing with atomic energy!
The supporting cast doesn't merely orbit RDJ's star power; they add their own light and heat to this already dazzling cinematic constellation. From start to finish, "Oppenheimer" is a big bang of entertainment, proving that the allure of human stories, especially ones this volatile, is truly elemental. Don't miss this one; it's a blast!
