Oppenheimer left me shocked: a personality examine on the grandest scale, with a elegant central efficiency by Cillian Murphy. An epic historic drama however with a distinctly Nolan sensibility: the stress, construction, sense of scale, startling sound design, exceptional visuals. Wow.

Telegraph
Am torn between being all coy and mysterious about Oppenheimer and simply popping out and saying it’s a complete knockout that cut up my mind open like a twitchy plutonium nucleus and left me sobbing by means of the tip credit like I can’t even bear in mind what else.

Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer is incredible – large and daring with electrifying performances and an extremely visceral pacing to it. It’s each quietly intimate and likewise a ferocious moviegoing expertise on the identical time. See it in IMAX 70mm & it’ll be amongst your favorite watches of 2023.

Sunday Times
Totally absorbed in Oppenheimer, a dense, talkie, tense movie partly in regards to the bomb, largely about how doomed we’re. Happy summer time! Murphy is sweet, however the help important: Damon, Downey Jr & Ehrenreich even deliver gags. An audacious, ingenious, advanced movie to rattle its viewers. The draw back? The ladies are badly served – Emily Blunt solely as soon as will get out of her careworn mom position. But it’s straight into my Nolan high three, alongside Memento and The Prestige.

Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer is actually a spectacular achievement, in its truthful, concise adaptation, ingenious storytelling and nuanced performances from Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, Robert Downey Jr., Matt Damon and the various, many others concerned —- some only for a scene. It’s arduous to speak about one thing as dense as this in one thing as foolish as a tweet or thread however Oppenheimer actually is a severe, philosophical, grownup drama that’s as tense and thrilling as Dunkirk. And the massive second – THAT MOMENT – is awe-inspiring.

Oppenheimer is…unimaginable. The phrase that retains coming to thoughts is ‘fearsome’. A relentlessly paced, insanely detailed, intricate historic drama that builds and builds and builds till Nolan brings the hammer down in essentially the most astonishing, shattering means.

I used to be skeptical, however Oppenheimer has caught with me since seeing it final week. Yes, it is 3 hours, however in a dense-Scorsese means and the final 20 minutes (why Emily Blunt clearly took the position) deliver its three narrative threads to a transferring conclusion.

Christopher Nolan’s masterpiece. A daring, tragic look inside humanity’s darkest hour. Riveting, world-class performances & breathtaking imagery that blows a load of emotion inside you. Not simply one other biopic, it’s one of the best historic film ever! A becoming finish.

Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer is unimaginable. Every side of the movie is price speaking about from the sensible performances, to Hoyte van Hoytema’s wonderful work behind the digital camera, to the best way Nolan tells the story. The 3 hour run time flies by. See it in IMAX 70mm in the event you can.

I believe Oppenheimer is Nolan’s JFK. And I LOVE LOVE LOVE JFK. Cillian Murphy mesmerises in a star-studded ethical quandary about Scientific Theory turning into lethal truth. The total forged is excellent, and whereas the historical past is DENSE, it’s Nolan’s most streamlined and accessible.

Oppenheimer hits UK cinemas on July 21, 2023.
