Oppenheimer Review (by TheJonathanSim): A Dark Tale from Christopher Nolan
as the titular character in one of the most profound, terrifying real-life stories about the man who gave humanity the power to destroy themselves. This is an edge-of-your-seat cinematic experience like no other, with Nolan tapping into something uniquely brilliant.in 2017. Although these movies take place in the same period of history, they could not be any more different. Dunkirk was a war movie that followed a thrilling evacuation, but this movie takes things away from the battlefield.
In every way, Oppenheimer is a standout in Nolan’s career. If you think about the movies he’s made over the past few years, like The Dark Knight trilogy, Inception, Interstellar, and Tenet, you’ll see he makes high-concept action movies with gorgeous spectacle. Dunkirk was a war movie with practical explosions and planes. Nolan is not using that toolbox with this movie. He tells his most grounded story since The Prestige.
Without too many dazzling visuals or action sequences to wow the audience, Nolan is left with the most performance-driven film of his career. He needs a talented cast to do it, and he has assembled one of the best ensembles of the year. Cillian Murphy has appeared in many of Nolan’s movies but never as a leading man. He gets to take the reigns in what may be a career-best performance from him.
